Prism Print International

Prism Print International is an internationally-based, volunteer run organisation founded in 2012 to promote artistic exchange, collaboration and international understanding through fine art printmaking. Prism draws its roots from the profound international experience of two alumni of Camberwell School of Arts & Design.
Founders John Akatsu Read and Nigel Oxley curated the first Prism exhibition of UK and
Japanese printmakers represented at the Yanagisawa Gallery, Tokyo in 2012. Eleven years later this voluntary organisation has 44 Prism members from 18 countries and a catalogue of international and national exhibitions.
The exhibitions have only one continuous theme ‘Printmaking’ and allow each artist to be seen with prints of the highest standard where process and technique can be appreciated as well as their singular vision, influenced or not by their nationality.
Prism – Venice, curated by Déirdre Kelly of SG Gallery, Venice and Print International member Karen Daye-Hutchinson showcases original print from 25 extraordinary Prism members. The selected works for this important exhibition are viewed as ‘naked prints’ – “unframed original prints for the full appreciation of the real quality of mark and colour, of paper texture and even aroma.” –
