François Pont

François is interested in both traditional and experimental techniques of printmaking, alongside painting and drawing. His own prints are an ever-intriguing mixture of various expert techniques, making each print unique in its own right. On in one individual piece one can expect to discover both an engraving and an original painting. The repetitive and time-intensive methods of the black ink engraving combined with the spontaneity of the hand painted colour washes create a unique movement and rhythm on the paper. There is an elemental nature in François' work and the dynamism of the natural world - the space and vastness of mountains, lakes and valleys - can be experienced in his work.
