Inchoate Landscapes is a brand new suite of prints by one of Scotland's most successful young artists, award winning Toby Paterson. Toby first worked with Peacock’s master printmakers back in 2003 on his hugely successfully suite Patterns and returned in early 2010 to developing this new body of work.
Inchoate Landscapes has enabled him to try techniques new to him such as lino, lithography, digital print and etching, as well as returning to previously familiar methods including relief and silkscreen printing.
The suite is available to purchase here as a whole for £5000 or separately.
“This new suite of prints differs considerably from the previous one I completed at Peacock in 2003. Formally speaking, within this suite there is great variety in the processes and formats employed in the work, this approach exposing me to techniques such as lithography and etching for the first time. It’s also been a delight to return to previously familiar methods such as relief and silkscreen printing and use them in conjunction with these other processes. Whereas Patterns was a suite that explored idealised images, Inchoate Landscapes has stemmed more from the experience of cities as contingent, pragmatic and flawed entities. Two strong threads within my work of recent years run through the suite; my exceedingly stimulating travels in Eastern Europe under the auspices of a Creative Scotland Award and the work, both permanent and temporary, that I’ve made outside the rarefied confines of the studio and gallery."
