EXHIBITION: Under the Influence
Under the Influence is an exhibition by Newcastle Printmakers Workshop and The Makers Studio, Central Coast.
Artists are shaped by those who came before them – their marks, methods and ideas lingering in the studio like a quiet conversation across time. In ‘Under the Influence’, twenty-five printmakers from The Makers Studio Central Coast & Newcastle Printmakers Workshop consider the artists who have informed their practice. Some works honour a clear lineage while others respond more subtly through technique, material or spirit. Together, these prints reveal influence not as imitation, but as a dialogue: a passing of knowledge, curiosity and courage. Each artist transforms what has been learned, allowing inspiration to become a catalyst for experimentation, renewal and distinctly personal expression.
