Reduction, revealing and The Royal Academy, conversation with one of the UK's most talented lino print artists, Alexandra Buckle.
Alexandra lives in Bicester and draws inspiration from countryside walks and the changes in weather and season upon the landscape. These scenic discoveries are transformed into colourful, impressionistic linocuts. Most prints are worked in reduction whereby layers of colour are cut and printed from the same block, destroying it in the process and limiting the edition. Themes for Alexandra’s prints include sun streaming through woodlands and trees, twinkling water and reflections, carpets of flowers, expansive rocky coastlines and nostalgic seaside scenes. More recently, adventures from a trip to Japan have sparked a collection of works.
Alexandra has been a full-time printmaker since 2012. Her linocuts have been displayed at the Royal Academy, the Bankside Gallery and Mall Galleries in London and her work sells to collectors across the UK and internationally. She has been a best seller on the Artfinder online marketplace for several years and has recently been selected as an Artfinder Artist Ambassador to help shape the future of the platform.
Alexandra teaches several group lino printing workshops a year. Visit her website for more details.
