Paul Furneaux
Yesterday we visited the Open Eye Gallery in Edinburgh to see Paul Furneaux's exhibition Inside:Out.
The show illustrates Furneaux’s developments from 2D print works to 3D wall mounted sculptural objects incorporating print. He uses traditional Japanese woodcut techniques to explore landscape and interior space using a simplified language of abstraction, distillation and contemplation.
Furneaux received a Masters in Japanese woodblock printing and was recently invited to the Mokuhanga Innovative Laboratory at the foot of Mount Fuji with five International artists to deepen his knowledge of this medium. He also explores combining the mokuhanga technique with etching.
In addition to creating and exhibiting his work, Paul also runs occasional courses in the Japanese water-based woodblock printing technique at Edinburgh Printmakers.
Inside:Out runs at Open Eye Gallery until 2nd April 2014. Find out more
