For our latest Girls Who Draw exhibition, we will be unleashing an
array of fabulous beasts and beings to fill the windows and walls of Here
Gallery in Bristol. The show accompanies the Mythical
Creatures postcard book and will include a
selection of prints and original artwork from the book as well as new pieces
created especially for the gallery.
The
exhibition line-up features a range of emerging and established female
illustrators from around the UK and different characters from myths, legends
and folklore. Amongst them will be Wood
Troll and Firebird screen prints
by Ruth Green, Wear Wolf and Flying Fox prints by Sandra Dieckmann and drawings
of Imaginary Beings by Sarah Lippett.
Lee May Foster-Wilson will be exhibiting her
Pegasus and mermaid paintings which
were originally created for the postcard book. Some of the exhibitors have also
made Mythical Creatures inspired
products and craftwork such as Kate Hindley’s Ratatoskr cushions, Yee Ting Kuit’s Gnome and Unicorn brooches
and Beth Morrison’s hand drawn, wooden figures of Bigfoot and Brownie the
helpful elf.
As
part of the exhibition there will be a small showcase of self-published books
from some of the exhibitors including mini comics by illustrator Kristyna Baczynski
and screen printed comics and zines by print-makers Esther McManus and Helen
Entwisle. And as if that isn’t enough, Karoline
Rerrie and Print Gocco Queen Xtina Lamb will be printing, cutting and sticking to produce a large scale
installation in the windows of Here Gallery.
