Chen Qi - Woodblock Prints

23 May - 28 June 2008
Glasgow Print Studio, Main Gallery

GPS is collaborating with Ricefield to bring to Glasgow, an exhibition of the remarkable woodblock prints of Chen Qi. He is an artist, Professor of Fine Art at Beijing University, who has exhibited extensively throughout the world and most recently exhibited his ten metre high monumental woodblock prints at the British Library. The prints we will exhibit will not be at that scale but at two metres square they are still substantial woodblock prints. Each of the works in this exhibition is made with unique delicacy and outstanding ingenuity employing traditional printmaking techniques to create works monumental in size.

During this exhibition the artist will hold a master class in Chinese woodblock printmaking

CHINA NOW - the UK’s largest ever festival of Chinese culture – takes place in 2008 to coincide with the Chinese New Year and continues through to the end of July and the opening of the Beijing Olympics.
With over 800 events nationwide, CHINA NOW will showcase the very best of modern Chinese society and culture advancing the public’s education and understanding of China and capturing the attention of the UK.


Masako Ueda

6 - 28 June 2008
Glasgow Print Studio, Gallery III

Masako’s work investigates the relationship between advertising and consumer culture.  By employing various printmaking techniques, she has developed work that is both conceptual and visual while exploring, through print, how art translates into mass production and how transforming art into something immediate to be experienced in the everyday rather than just to be viewed affects our expectations of it and reactions to it.

Masako is from Japan but now lives in Glasgow after completing a degree at GSA in 2007.
