Painting & Printmaking

Stow Building, 63 students

Painting and Printmaking is the largest specialist programme within the School of Fine Art. The programme of study is practical and theoretical, focusing on enquiry and production in a lively studio environment.

Painting and Printmaking at the GSA reflects the complex and changing conditions, ethics and currencies of art-making, responding to new ideas. An awareness of histories and applications of painting alongside contemporary debate are all fundamental to our programme of study, which acknowledges and critiques painting’s legacies, and prioritises experiment and innovation. Painting is understood as a vehicle of thought and expression, a capture technology and an intellectual discipline. Printmaking is rooted in an exploration of visual representation and dissemination aligned to the materials, processes and formats of established and developing technologies.

The programme encompasses a range of approaches to our disciplines and suggests an expanded field – between what is hand-driven and machinic – from their interactions.
