Ralph Kiggell
29 September – 28 October 2006
Ralph Kiggell, a British artist, trained in woodblock printing in Japan and is currently resident in Thailand. In ‘Warm Rain’, Ralph focused on tropical fecundity through prints of brightly coloured fauna and lush flora in predominant shades of green. Images included sensuous fruits and flowers, from mangoes to hibiscus and lotuses. In other prints, green water-lizards and purple swamp-birds add to the Eden-like profusion of colour. All works were printed with water-based pigments by hand from wood onto handmade Japanese paper.
