Sept 2018
Between 2015 and 2018 I made trips to Prague, Barcelona and Krakow always including some art involvements. In 2016 there were visits to Shanghai and Dalian for solo exhibitions and a significant tour in Shanxi province. This was the beginning of a commission which required my attention for more than eighteen months. The Shanxi tour was shared with ten other international artists. It was the inauguration of a complex project. We all signed a contract requiring us to make ten new images based on the historical sites which we had been taken to see. Each image was to be printed in a large edition. After the completion of this disciplined task I made many new paperworks and prints. One of these was included in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2018.
