LIKE NO OTHER: AN EXHIBITION BY OWEN GILDERSLEEVE & HARVEY LLOYD SCREENS
Together with masters of screen printing, Harvey Lloyd Screens, paper artist Owen Gildersleeve has announced an exhibition and brand new body of work, in celebration of hand-crafted individuality, the beauty in imperfection and the magic of collaboration.
The spark of ‘Like No Other’ originated during the COVID lockdowns of 2020, where Owen suddenly found himself faced with the freedom to experiment with different approaches to his work. This included creating watercolour washes, exploring gradients and in turn, combining these with his hand-crafted paper artworks. This opportunity of exploration led to Owen reaching out to Harvey Lloyd to collaborate on a one-off piece, who in turn took the idea and evolved it into something completely new, creating an array of wonderful mono-screen prints inspired by Owen’s initial concept. Through this creative ‘call and response’, Harvey Lloyd helped grow this seed of an idea into an amazing array of printed possibilities.
The exhibition tells a story of human connection and collaboration, stepping out of one’s comfort zone with the exchange of techniques and ideas,
and the freedom that comes with embracing unexpected results. Owen’s papercut elements are created using the very same paper stock as the monoprints they interact with, bringing the two together in unison, as well as providing a natural colour limitation to the paper cut elements in nice contrast with the vibrance of the prints.
