Wilmington Man 2 Print

Original silkscreen print on Arches Aquarelle 365gsm paper.

"Wilmington Man is to be found just outside the village of Wilmington, East Sussex. “Green Man”, as he is known locally, stands 69m tall and is wonderfully surreal to come across within the rural landscape. I was particularly drawn to the linear appearance of the topography as described by the ploughed furrows and strong shadows on the hillside."

Andy Lovell’s work as an illustrator and printmaker is informed by making drawings and paintings from life which are then revisited through the medium of print. The original drawings are not an end in themselves but rather aim to catch the essence of a place in a form that can be translated to print back in the studio. He is drawn to the immediacy that the screen-print and monotype processes both allow and encourage and which result in a gestural and often graphic interpretation of these initial sketches and paintings done on location that capture a real sense of mood and place.
