From Cheek to Blushing Cheek - An Exhibition

Alaric Hammond will present a challenging new body of work at his London
exhibition From Cheek To Blushing Cheek. This powerful solo show is
inspired by recent conflicts, protest and persisting influence of Empire.

Alaric Hammond is a UK artist who has developed a diverse practice of drawing, painting, collage and fine art printmaking centred around his fresh approach to the traditional technique of etching. Alongside relief and intaglio-type printing the artist often employs a variety of acid bath techniques to corrode metal plates bearing his work in assemblages which dramatizes the effect of decades
of wear from the natural passage of time and weather, and the hand of
man in the form of pollution, neglect and vandalism.
