NORMAN ACKROYD CBE RA
Travels with Copper and Wax
Norman Ackroyd is one of Britain’s leading landscape artists working in watercolour and etching. The show coincides with the artist’s 80th birthday.
Travels with Copper and Wax offers a rare opportunity for visitors to view Ackroyd’s early and recent
etchings together, giving a unique insight into his work.
The exhibition will bring together two distinct areas of Ackroyd’s work – ‘intimate English landscapes’
from the early 1990s, some of which are now scarce, will be shown alongside ‘the edge’, his more
recent dramatic monochrome landscapes based on the harsh coastlines, outcrops of rock and wild
seas of the north of Scotland and the west of Ireland.
“Etching, at its best, is simply another, but very beautiful drawing medium. It demands
absolute simplicity of intent.” Norman Ackroyd
