About the Work
Looking
at
Rodney
Fumpston’s
work
reveals
a
life
devoted
to
printmaking
practice.
Along
with
the
sensuous
colours
and
richly
nuanced
surfaces,
you’ll
discover
an
artist
of
enormous
discipline
with
the
eye
of
a
perfectionist.
While this may suggest an abiding interest in overcoming various technical hurdles and pleasure in solving printmaking puzzles, the final work is not intended to reveal difficulty and exertion, but rather to appear ‘light’ and effortless.
