Barton Hargreaves | Printmaking | Devon
Barton Hargreaves is an artist and printmaker whose diverse practice has developed simultaneously with the technological developments within digital print. He makes indoor and outdoor installations and fine art prints using digital and more traditional processes such as etching and screen print, often mixing them up together.
Recent projects include ‘Sentinels’ a series of etchings of the Dartmoor hawthorn and ‘Glitch’ a series of charcoal screenprints of an abandoned market garden. Work is often (though not always) monochrome and ‘Time’ is a constant theme running through the work.
He gained an MA from the Royal College of Art and spent 11 years working as the digital print tutor at the Royal Academy Schools before relocating to the South West. He currently splits his time between teaching on the Extended BA at Arts University Plymouth and his studio on the Dartington estate.
He has regularly exhibited at the RA Summer Show where he won the print prize in 2017 and has been commissioned to create several large-scale works including for the Jerwood Space and Northern Print Biennale. He has work in numerous collections such as the Conran Foundation, Clifford Chance and the British Museum.
