Contemporary Artists set for Battle

PURE Arts Group, the Rye-based arts marketing and promotion

business, has cemented its growing reputation as one of the

UK’s leading Contemporary Art promoters by unveiling an

impressive international roster of artists and printmakers

appearing at The 2012 PURE Spring Art Fair.

Taking place between Friday April 6th and Thursday April 12th at the suitably

picturesque PowderMills Country House Hotel, The PURE Spring Art Fair will be

curated by highly respected painter, collage artist and printmaker Brenda Hartill.

Uniting leading international contemporary artists and printmakers, The PURE Spring

Art Fair will focus strongly on the role of print in contemporary art.

Event organiser Lesley Samms enthused: “The PURE Spring Art Fair brings together,

for the first time under one roof, some of the most exciting contemporary artists

from this country and abroad. The PURE Spring Art Fair is not only for existing fans

of contemporary art and original printmaking, it will be a superb opportunity for

everyone and anyone to enjoy and purchase bespoke pieces of work.”

Demonstrations will take place throughout the exhibition showing visitors various

print processes, including dry point, copper-plate etching, mezzotint and collagraphy.

Example plates will be inked and printed on site. Demo prints signed by the artist

will be available to purchase on the day with all proceeds going to MERU, a charity

that exists to improve life for children and young people with disabilities.

On Monday 9th April at 2pm, a talk led by Brenda Hartill on ‘What is an Original Print’

will tackle the nature of an artist’s original print and how to tell the difference

between this and a reproduction.

The PURE Spring Art Fair will take place at the recently built, high specification

exhibition hall and conference centre at the beautiful PowderMills Hotel.

This stunning, privately-owned C18 Country House Hotel lies in 150 acres of

parklands, woods and lakes. The property overlooks the battlefield where William

the Conqueror defeated King Harold and served as a hub of gunpowder production

for Guy Fawkes failed attempted to blow up The House of Parliament.
