The Stonehaven art and framing gallery Eion Stewart is staging Linked by Ink, an exhibition exploring the expressive and technical possibilities of contemporary printmaking. Featuring work by nine artists* proficient in very different subject-matter and technique, the exhibition is an exciting addition to the the gallery’s regular schedule, showcasing a range of approaches from woodblock and linocut to contemporary mixed processes, and highlighting the technical rigour and material intelligence of print as a medium in its own right.

The show boasts a broad appeal, and includes a selection of unframed works, offering an accessible way to collect, comprising over 100 etchings, linocuts, wood engravings, collagraphs and digital prints; each work leaves a trace of process, gesture and imagination, revealing the subtle dialogue between ink, paper and the artist’s hand.

*Babs Pease, Paul Boyle, Caroline Erolin, Kim Duncan, Sarah Ross-Thompson, John Johnstone, Nicky Sanderson, Suzie MacKenzie and Gregory Moore (whose work is pictured).

Since opening in 1997 at its Allardice Street location, close to Dunnottar Castle, the gallery has staged meticulously-curated exhibitions showcasing established and emerging artists, alongside its bespoke frame-making service, making it a favourite destination for art collectors and enthusiasts.
