Prints in Flux: Woolwich’s Art Fair Unmasks the Unexpected

Contemporary printmaking at Woolwich isn’t just about ink on paper—it’s a lively crossroads where satire, identity, and myth collide. David Shrigley’s irreverent humor turns the everyday into punchlines, while Gavin Turk riffs on art history’s sacred cows, poking at what makes a masterpiece. Yinka Shonibare weaves together African and European narratives, using art to question the tangled roots of identity in a globalized world. Meanwhile, Katherine Jones and Eliza Hopewell open up hidden interiors—fragile spaces and private realms—inviting viewers to rethink what’s safe, seen, or secret. From Bobbye Fermie’s introspective dreamscapes to Mohammad Barrangi’s mythic journeys, each artist stretches the boundaries of print, blending tradition with bold new stories. At Woolwich, prints become portals: not just images, but invitations to step into other worlds, question old certainties, and find the extraordinary in the familiar. #ContemporaryArt #Printmaking #WoolwichFair #Culture
