Paul Catherall

   Paul Catherall makes amazing linocuts, mostly of London landmarks. With their flat colours they remind me of German Plakatstil posters from a century ago.
   I went to check out his exhibition at the OXO gallery on the south bank in may. Fortunately he was there, so I got to pick his brains for a while. Apparently the images are assembled piecemeal, like a large jigsaw. I've since tried it and it's easier said than done.
   He's certainly sold me on the sky-being-other-than-blue thing. Check out his site here.

  1. Beautiful linocuts. They are very angular. Where did you find these Pete?
