Fiona Grady is taking part in Eye Candy, a group exhibition of contempoary artists working in the medium of screenprinting.
Eye Candy will be a presentation of works celebrating the incredibly versatile and addictive method of screen-printing, resulting from its marriage of analogue and digital processes. Using a wide spectrum of inks from aluminium powders to fluorescents, highly vivid colours can be achieved making designs pop and stand out from their digitally printed counterparts. The exhibition presents 35 framed screenprints created specially for a portfolio by the members of Sonsoles Print Studio. With skill and practice, the screenprints have been editioned over the summer, and each member has created an edition for this project. Affordable artworks will be available for sale and there'll be a programme of talks and drop-in sessions where you can have a go at pulling your own print!
SPS is a hidden gem in Peckham Print Village that has run for over 12 years. Sonsoles (pronounced SON-SO-LEZ) is the founder of SPS, with a background in Fine Art Printmaking from the Royal College of Art. She created SPS out of necessity, aiming to provide an accessible studio space for all. This DIY approach has resulted in a vibrant community of various ages and backgrounds, including full-time artists, moonlighters, and craft-makers. Many members have found commercial success, become teachers, or even started their own studio through their experience at SPS.
