“In London-based artist Rosalind Hobley’s expressive cyanotypes, flowers assume a portrait-like quality through varied textures and supple shapes.”

‘Versailles IV’ Print in ‘If Heaven Falls’ at The Lido Stores Gallery Margate from 8th February
I am delighted to announce that a print from my ‘Versailles’ series of toned cyanotypes has been selected for the Lido Stores Gallery Alt Valentines exhibition in Margate. Exhibition runs from 8th February - 8th March’
“More than 700 submissions were received during the two-week open call window, from which gallery owner-curator Kristen Healy has selected some 115 artworks that contemplate the themes of love, lust and romance in all their complexity. The exhibition, comprising painting, print, collage, sculpture and other mixed media, will occupy two thirds of The Lido Stores’ Gallery 1 and the entirety of Gallery 2 for 4 weeks.”
About
I am an artist making prints inspired by sculptural forms, whether that be the figure, or plants and flowers in still life arrangements. I use the early photographic methods of cyanotype and photogravure.
The cyanotype prints are made from large scale negatives, which are contact printed with specially coated paper that I make myself. They are exposed using UV light from the sun, or in my studio. They are then carefully washed, dried and flattened.
