This June, Byard Art welcomes back a perennial favourite, our Exhibition of Prints returns for 2025, bringing with it a vibrant and varied selection of print-based artwork by some of the most exciting names in contemporary art.

From bold linocuts to intricate giclee prints, dynamic monotypes to eye-catching screenprints, this exhibition showcases the incredible breadth of the printmaking world. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a curious first-time buyer, Exhibition of Prints offers an accessible and affordable entry point into original, high-quality art.

A Cornucopia of Print Techniques

Printmaking is one of the most fascinating and diverse art forms, blending meticulous technique with bold creative expression. In this year’s Exhibition of Prints, we celebrate the incredible range of processes artists use to transform ideas into tangible, collectible works of art.

Unlike mass-produced prints, the works you’ll see in this exhibition are hand-pulled, small-batch, or one-off editions, each made with care, craftsmanship and artistic intent. 

Printmaking allows artists to play with texture, repetition, layering, and tone in ways that other mediums often can’t, resulting in artwork that is rich in both technique and meaning.

Among the highlights of the exhibition, you’ll find:

• Linocut: A relief print process where artists carve their designs into linoleum blocks, then roll ink over the surface and press it onto paper. The result is striking, often monochromatic and bold, with strong lines, deep contrasts and a tactile quality that feels both modern and timeless.
• Giclée Prints: These archival-quality prints are created using high-resolution inkjet printers and are often used to reproduce original paintings or digital works with exceptional detail and colour fidelity. Though created with technology, giclée prints maintain the artist’s vision and vibrancy, perfect for those who love clarity and precision.
• Monotypes: The most painterly of all print methods, monotypes are unique, one-off prints made by painting directly onto a smooth surface before transferring the image to paper. The process is spontaneous and expressive, giving each print an energetic, fluid character that can never be exactly replicated.
• Screenprints: Popularised by artists like Warhol, this technique uses stencils and mesh screens to apply layers of ink with striking impact. Screenprints are often graphic, bold, and colourful, great for contemporary collectors who appreciate strong visual statements.

These techniques are not just about process, they’re about storytelling, experimentation, and accessibility. Many of the artists featured in the exhibition use print as a way to reimagine the world around them, translating everyday imagery, memories, landscapes or narratives into visually powerful and emotionally resonant pieces.

For the viewer, print offers a rare chance to own a piece of that process, to hang something on your wall that carries both artistic value and creative depth, without needing a five-figure budget.

Featured Artists

Catherine Williams

Known for her powerful, expressive linocuts, Catherine Williams brings strong storytelling energy to her work. Her prints often feature animals, nature and symbolic elements, balancing bold design with intricate carving techniques.

Claire Gill

Gill’s layered mixed-media approach gives her prints a distinctive sense of atmosphere and place. Often combining photography, digital collage and screenprinting, her work plays with memory, architecture and emotional landscapes.

Teresa Winchester

Full of character, colour and whimsy, Teresa Winchester’s linocut prints are rich in narrative and visual charm. Her illustrative style draws from folklore, myth and the natural world, offering visual storytelling with every piece.

Sue Welfare

With a playful and eclectic approach to image-making, Sue Welfare’s work explores pattern, repetition and everyday objects. Her pieces are often underpinned by a warm humour and eye for detail, adding joy and curiosity to any collection.

Art That’s Accessible, Affordable and Collectable

One of the joys of the Exhibition of Prints is the diversity of work on offer, in both style and price point. For seasoned art buyers, it’s a chance to discover new techniques and artists. For newcomers, it’s an ideal way to begin collecting original artwork in a way that’s approachable and exciting.

Printmaking allows for limited edition originals that retain the artist’s touch and creative intent, while being more affordable than one-off paintings or sculptures. Each piece still holds all the uniqueness, beauty, and craftsmanship that the artists are known for.
