My linocut prints are produced using the reduction method in very limited editions. They are intentionally intricate prints that aim to reveal the intensity and density of their subjects. My current work is based on the war in Syria. In my prints of “ALEPPO” and “HOMS” I want to convey the darkness and chaos of war, where the structures of the urban landscape are distorted by bombing and emptied of people. The destructive reality. In the modern world of 24 hour news, images of Syria flick past our eyes and may briefly rattle our consciences. However I hope it is when we stop and contemplate work in the space of an Art gallery that we can start to comprehend the brutality of what is occurring on a deeper level.
You will find Jess Bugler’s work at Hatton Gallery.”

Water(s) series.
Sea, Isles, Lake, River, Waterfall.
I wanted to try something a little bit different than usual, using a limited color palette, simple shapes and composition, with recurrent patterns. I had so much fun doing these !
I’ve been greatly inspired by linocut aesthetic, japanese engraving as well as Eyvind Earle and Mary Blair’s paintings and a hint of Matisse’s collages !

I made some Lucha Lady linocut prints on my handmade recycled paper. Came out pretty decent.

Here’s a small linoprint animation I made almost a year ago! It’s just five frames, but still walks pretty nicely! I can see it either walking or kind of galloping sideways.
First #linocut ever! Gonna press a little harder next time, but this is #spacecapybara.

“No Accommodation.” The pelican here is by Neil Brigham, a linocut called “On the Mend.” Pelicans are a symbol of generosity and openness.
