ARTIST: Edward Crumpton
VENUE NO.: 38



Edward Crumpton works at The Hay Loft Studio which is hidden amongst rolling fields of classic countryside outside of Swimbridge. The studio is home to Ed's sophisticated body of work which includes sculptures (such as his sculpture on display at Exeter University), paintings, ink drawings, woodcuts and mixed media pieces. Hay Loft Studio is a must-see part of this year's fantastic ND Art Trek programme!


Edward Crumpton is a member of the Society of Wood Engravers

Edward's wood engravings are detailed and finely executed. I have to admit; I have quite a bit of envy over his beautiful prints. For me, this is just one of those all-to-familiar moments where I cannot decipher whether I want to be able to make such a great print myself or whether I just want a copy (usually the latter suffices).

There are quite a few print makers taking part in Art Trek and opening their studios up to the public this year including; Edward Crumpton, Hilary Paynter, Judith Westacott (Sam Picard's venue) and Nicky Montagu. Not to mention the Five Women Printmakers exhibitions which is currently on display at the White Moose.


 


Edward Crumpton is currently working on a new body of work which is going to be exhibited alongside two other artists' work at the White Moose, Barnstaple from 7 August – 26 September 2015. Do try and pop round to his studio as it is genuinely worth a visit!
