List of works | Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair

Blue Shop Gallery at Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair 2025 | Stand 8

Blue Shop Gallery is exhibiting for the 5th time at Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and this year we are thrilled to bring a selection of exquisite 1/1 totally unique monotypes by 6 artists. Print can be traditionally static but you can expect to find bursts of colour, pigment, expression and emotion in our selection of works this year. Made with a variety of exciting processes all 6 artists are pushing the boundaries of print and colour. Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, the leading international art fair for original contemporary print, presents a unique alternative model that is revolutionising the traditional art market, disrupting the elitist nature of art fairs, and pushing the boundaries of print.

A monotype is a unique print made by painting or drawing ink or another material onto a smooth surface, like glass or metal, and then transferring it to paper. Because the image is hand-created on a non-permanent surface, each print is a one-of-a-kind piece, making the process closer to painting or drawing than other printmaking techniques. The result is a single, unique impression, though sometimes a lighter "ghost" print can be pulled from the plate afterward.

Sammi Lynch

Sammi Lynch (b.1995) in North West England, Sammi Lynch now lives and works in London. She studied at Manchester School of Art and Kingston School of Art, and is a graduate of 'The Drawing Year', a postgraduate scholarship program at the Royal Drawing School, London. Her inaugural solo show was at Blue Shop Gallery and her first European solo show took place at Solito Gallery, Naples. Lynch's work has since been selected for a number of notable group exhibitions, including 'As She Is', curated by Rejina Pyo at Soho Revue. April 2025 marked her US debut with a two-person show at Scroll Gallery in New York and she will present new work in a forthcoming exhibition in Canada in Autumn 2025. Previous UK exhibitions include Annely Juda Fine Art, Lychee One, Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and London Original Print Fair. A recent collaboration with Burberry - designing a series of limited edition silk scarves - was shortlisted for the V&A Illustration Award. Sammi Lynch is represented by Annely Juda her first solo show was with Blue Shop Gallery in 2023.

Lynch's practice is grounded in a deep, intuitive relationship with the natural world. Working directly in the landscape with pastel on paper, she captures fleeting impressions of place with immediacy and clarity. These spontaneous drawings form the foundation of her studio work, where they are translated into richly textured oil paintings and prints. Through this process of transformation - from observation to memory, from paper to canvas - Lynch creates more-than-geographical landscapes that are as emotionally resonant as they are visually compelling.

Rooted in a sense of place - windswept moors, mountain paths, wide skies - Lynch's paintings are not literal depictions but emotional distillations through colour and composition. Returning often to familiar sites, she captures how both land and perception shift over time. These works convey a layered sense of memory and change, balancing clarity with ambiguity. Through expressive brushwork, bold colour and textured surfaces, she evokes scenes that feel both deeply personal and collectively familiar. Often unpopulated, her landscapes still bear subtle signs of human presence: the curve of a path, a distant fence, a pair of swimmers stilled in the water, absorbed into the quiet drama of their surroundings.

Alice Hartley

Alice Hartley (b. 1988) is an artist originally from the East Hampshire South Downs, now living and working in London. After graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2013, Hartley has continued to explore surface as a way of understanding emotional connection to the land, and the psychological spaces that exist between memory and desire. These spaces consider half-lived experiences, the political and emotional confusion of modernity, and the tension between false barriers and the urgency to release and escape. Recurring motifs of jagged edges, hovering awkward shapes, and ambiguous, gleaming fragments of text run through her work. At times impatient, at others tender, her paintings often contradict themselves- seeking both confrontation and gentleness.

Hartley’s process often begins with returning to the basics: mono-printing with the silk screen or monotype from the relief press, where intuition guides her hand. From these small beginnings, larger works evolve into site-specific installations that extend across gallery walls and billboards. Recently, Hartley has returned to traditional approaches to surface- laying grounds of gesso to build sculptural paintings in oil, beeswax and pigment. These new works continue her enduring preoccupation with surface; binding together fragments of her past with what she imagines still to come.

Ollie Marr

Ollie (b.1995) (he/they) grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, between the Atlantic Ocean and the foothills of Table Mountain. The dissonance of being in a city and immersed in nature led Ollie to a career exploring the connections between human society and natural systems, a subject they continue to examine in their practice. Drawn to how light falls on natural and manufactured objects in the landscape, Ollie paints or draws initially from life, finding harmony in the shapes and structures of the land. Each piece then evolves through drawing, printmaking, weaving, and painting from memory. This body of work explores landscapes in and around the UK including Cornwall, London, and Scotland. These monotypes explore how colour and working from memory influence the tonal drawings Ollie made on walks in different parts of the UK during the winter of 2024-25. Ollie works from their studio in East London.

Ines Fernandez de Cordova

Ines Fernandez de Cordova’s (b.1992) multidisciplinary practice unfolds across several stages, grounded in the sculptural forms she creates using plaster or jesmonite. These works act as entry points into uncanny, imagined scenes. She embraces the delicate and often unstable nature of her sculptures, using repetition and collage to imply movement, while her printmaking practice serves to arrest that motion, fixing each composition in time.

Born in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, Fernandez de Cordova has lived and worked in London since 2011. Alongside her artistic practice, she works as a print technician at Camberwell College of Arts and with artist Anita Klein. She studied at Camberwell College of Arts, earning an MA in Visual Arts: Printmaking (2015–2017) and a BA in Illustration (2012–2015), following a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design from CCW, University of the Arts London (2011–2012). Her first solo show was at Blue Shop Gallery in 2020,
