The Studio - Ceri
The Studio - Ceri signed lithograph with hand painting by Neil Gall. Part of a series of six lithographs with hand painting including: 'William Scott', 'Cock and Boar', 'Junk Poet', 'Mamma?','Ceri' and 'Monkey Business'.
"The prints are all based on old copies of The Studio art magazine. I received a gift of a large collection of The Studio from my Secondary school art teacher Ruth Lough a couple of years ago, she subscribed to the magazine from around 1946 and I've worked on many of the covers cutting, drawing and collaging to make a body of work which is currently on show at The Henry Moore Institute in Leeds (Neil Gall The Studio: Cover Versions 21 Feb -2 September 2018). The idea of making some lithographs and returning the covers back to 'print' form seems appropriate. The images are all based on artists who have worked at Curwen: Ceri Richards, Elizabeth Frink, Graham Sutherland, Henry Moore, John Piper and William Scott. They incorporate images of the artists themselves as well as fragments of their 'Curwen' works. If you look closely you can also see fragments of old advertisements through the overlaid collage elements, The Curwen and St. George's Gallery ( Curwen's first commercial outlet) regularly took out ad's in The Studio.
The titles are often taken from text that is on the covers in much the same way that Kurt Schwitters would find 'names' for his collage work from printed material collaged in the works themselves. The Prints are composed in quite a formalist manner, colours, shapes forms etc. but sometimes. I'm prompted to make associations through biographical detail..for example in 'Ceri' an image of Ceri Richards is pictured in silhouette and above him there is an image of a drawing of a young girl, the artist's daughter Rhiannon. I remember sitting next to her many years later at a John Moores award dinner in Liverpool and coming across this earlier image was for me a nice bit of 'time travel'.
Another work 'Cock and Boar' , the title, is quite funny I think. It features images of Picasso all cocksure and swagger contrasted with a more circumspect Elizabeth Frink..and embedded deeper in the work are images of a Frink Curwen 'Boar' lithograph and......a Picasso cockerel sculpture." - Neil Gall
