Statement
创作声明
Wood engraving demands incisive control.
Attended Northampton School of Art. Fellow of the Royal Cambrian Academy, Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and a member of Society of Wood Engravers. There is I believe, something indefinable but essential to any creative work, something which provides the driving force for all my image making. Although his work is based on the meticulous observation of the natural world, his talent is to invent compositions which distil the ecological and behavioural relationships of the species and their habitats.
I live and work in a remote farmhouse in Montgomeryshire, Wales and take much of my inspiration from the surrounding landscape and its wildlife. An interaction has to be present between myself and the work. He is widely regarded as the leading exponent of wood engraving in the United Kingdom and his work is represented in many private and public collections around the world including the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; Museum of Modern Art, Wales; Yosemite Wildlife Museum and the Guangdong Museum of Art, China.
Colin See-Paynton had his first sell out exhibition with us in February 2017, followed by exhibitions in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2023 & 2024. Colin will return for a major retorspective exhibition, and book launch, in July 2026.

I strive to achieve a unity and a dynamic in my work, rather as in a piece of music, allowing for and encouraging further creative input at every stage. He uses his knowledge and imagination to construct engravings of great complexity and refinement and has evolved something new by the patterning and layering of his images. Later compositions, particularly those from an underwater viewpoint, use an increasingly abstract and fluid line to capture the fast and fleeting movements of birds and fish.
Colin See-Paynton is a Fellow of the Royal Cambrian Academy, Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and a member of the Society of Wood Engravers. There is no compromise in my wood engravings just the black of the ink and the white of the paper, together with a closely considered design built up from countless drawings. Entirely self-taught as an engraver, he began to make prints in 1980 and has since produced over 250 editions.
Colin has brought a new vitality to one of the earliest forms of printmaking. Over the years wood engraving has become an intense passion, intriguingly revealing endless possibilities for me as an artist. Somehow an energy must be generated which will run through the whole process of creating a print from the first rough drawings to the final proof. Prints held in many private and public collections around the world including the V&A, Ashmolean Museum, Berlin Graphothek, Fremantle Museum & Art Gallery, Australia, Gaudi Salon, Barcelona, Guangdong Museum of Art, China, National Library of Wales, National Museum of Wales and the Yosemite Wildlife Museum, California. It is true that the prime object with my wood engraving is simply to make a printed image, but the work leading to that goal must never falter and never be merely a technical, still less a mechanical exercise. 木口木刻需要敏锐的控制力。在我的作品中，没有任何妥协，只有墨色之黑和纸张之白，以及无数的图纸上经过深思熟虑的设计。我在威尔士蒙哥马利郡（Montgomeryshire）的一个偏远的农舍里生活和工作，我的很多灵感都来自于周围的风景和野生动物。多年来，木口木刻让我产生了强烈的激情，并给我带了了艺术创作的无限的可能性。我相信，有些东西虽然难以确定，但对任何创造性的工作都是至关重要的，它为我所有的图像制作提供了动力。我和作品之间必须有一种互动。无论以哪种方式，都必须产生一种能量，它将贯穿于版画创作的整个过程，从最初的草图到最终的打样。我努力在我的作品中实现统一和动态，就像一首音乐一样，在每个阶段都允许和鼓励进一步的创造性投入。我的木口木刻作品的主要目标确实是为了制作一幅版画图像，但实现这一目标的工作决不能停滞不前，绝不能仅仅是一种技术，更不能仅仅是一种机械的练习。 In 1972, Colin See-Paynton moved to a remote farmhouse in Wales, on to which he built his studio. |
