Sometimes the word 'gallery' simply isn't enough. Yes, it's the core of a business dedicated to the best in painting, printmaking, sculpture and ceramics. But here the books turn into paintings, the paintings turn into films. Watch our short film to find out a bit more about us and what we do.
Memory and Rain, 2019
After a year Wenham left research and for the next 23 years taught in secondary, primary and special schools, with 9 years’ lecturing at the University of Leicester. He first exhibited his letter-cutting work in 1982; since 1984 it has been shown in the major British exhibitions of lettering arts. Wenham’s work is held in the Crafts Council’s Permanent Collection and in private collections in Britain, the USA, Germany, Japan and Puerto Rico.
Monogrammed letter carving on Ash-wood 'limed' with acrylic paint and rubbed back to the grain.
The words are from the poem My Grandmother's Love Letters by Hart Crane (1899 - 1932).
The vertical arrangement of the most of the words imitates the trickling of water down a window, emphasising their meaning by slowing the reader down, while still remaining quite legible.
Featured in Martin Wenham: The Art of Letter Carving in the Wood, by Martin Wenham, 2022. A free copy of Martin Wenham’s new book Martin Wenham The Art of Letter Carving, published by Crowood Press (price £25), will accompany each purchase from the exhibition.
