Ryepress - ArtistRyepress - Limited editon fine art prints of Rye, Hastings and the East Sussex coast by Colin Bailey.
Colin Bailey is an artist / printmaker living and working in Hastings, East Sussex after living in Rye for ten years and Kings Cross, London for fifteen years. Originally an etcher, and still with a printmaker’s instinct for multiple images, he has embraced the advance of recent technology through the use of digital photography, high resolution scanning and archival quality giclée printing.
As well as traditional views of Rye and Hastings, Colin Bailey also explores the textures and structures of Rye Bay (the East Sussex coast between Hastings and Dungeness). Ancient groynes, banks of constantly shifting shingle, fishing boats drying on the beach, and the prehistoric coast at the foot of the cliffs at Rock-a-Nore are examined in paintings with an almost abstract scale and attention to detail.
Ryepress has now opened in the centre of Hastings old town. Situated in the well known Retro shop in Hastings High street this new print studio and gallery joins a growing collection of galleries in what is fast becoming East Sussex’s newest centre for the arts.
With the eponymous Rye press now installed, the studio will soon be featuring periodic etching demonstrations, with a unique opportunity to see the process in action and buy Colin Bailey's limited edition prints of Hastings, Rye and the East Sussex coast straight from the press.
