BIOGRAPHY

Struan Hamilton is a printmaker born in Scotland in 1971. His work draws inspiration from the organic happenings within the man-made environment of a modern city. This duality of existence in shapes and forms creates a dynamic dialogue that generates a multitude of visual experience for the viewer. Working predominantly in intaglio and more specifically in viscosity etching, he has the ability to push the surface of an etching plate, and be pushed back in turn by it. This conflictual process generates dynamism, inherent throughout his work.
