Martin Langford is a printmaker specialising in mezzotint and etching, known for his intricate and thought-provoking works. A graduate of Plymouth University and Central St. Martins, Langford’s art explores environmental issues and human greed, often employing dark humour to engage a wide audience. His detailed craftsmanship and tonal mastery make mezzotint a powerful medium for his semi-surreal pieces, which balance poignant messages with a touch of levity.
Martin Grover’s screenprints pay tribute to everyday urban icons like traffic signs, buses, and destinations, evoking nostalgia and poetic reflection. Inspired by childhood memories of Ladybird book illustrations, Grover’s work combines vivid colours and halcyon imagery to create a whimsical yet grounded visual style. His art transforms familiar scenes into poignant meditations on the places we visit—both real and imagined.
Paul Catherall is a London-based printmaker celebrated for his bold, geometric linocuts of iconic architecture. Influenced by mid-20th-century poster design, his minimalist works feature dramatic compositions and a refined colour palette. Drawing inspiration from London’s skyline and his Coventry upbringing, Catherall has collaborated with clients such as Penguin, Transport for London, and British Airways, blending architectural homage with artistic precision.
