Description

Rebecca Salter RA’s distinctive prints utilise traditional Japanese woodblock printmaking techniques to create subtle, light-filled imagery.
Salter became interested in the traditional techniques of Japanese woodblock having lived and studied printmaking in Kyoto, Japan. She says; ‘I have a passion for Japanese art and especially for woodblock prints, a printing technique using, traditionally, Japanese paper, cherry wood and water-based inks. I am attracted to the visual sophistication of the prints; the flat colour, the bold, cropped compositions and, above all, the fluidity of the lines’.

All proceeds from the sale of RA Editions prints go directly to support the RA Schools.
