About

The Liverpool Illustrators Rhonda Davies Keiron Finnetty Mary Lundquist Phillip Marsden Louise Morgan Jane Spencer Arena Gallery is pleased to present Proof, an exhibition of new works by the Liverpool Illustrators. The Liverpool Illustrators are a group of artists who have been working and exhibiting together for a year. They formed as a group after completing a residency together at the Bluecoat print studio where they continue to work and contribute to the Bluecoat print studio programme. This ongoing collaboration has resulted in Proof. Proof is evidence; it is also a printmaking term meaning the first approved print made before the numbered edition. The Liverpool Illustrators are using both definitions, referring to the printmaking aspect of their work, the evidence of their development as printmakers is the work itself. It is the proof that they have continued to explore printmaking as well as drawing, painting and craft, since their first group show a year ago.
