Hannah Battershell is a London based artist.  Her gothic leanings and dark subject matters are always tempered by a silly sense of humour, often lending her work the ‘quirky exuberance of a children’s story book’ (Kate Weir, Spoonfed). Her work has been displayed in various exhibitions including The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2011. Her painting ‘Crocodilian’ appears in ‘Images 36′, the 2012 Association of Illustrators’ Best of New British Illustration publication. Go to top

Iain Hector is a London-based artist and graphic designer. His screenprints are often animal inspired – with a twist, like in his take on movie “Reservoir Dogs” for his screenprint “Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?” replacing Mr Blonde’s head with a dog’s, and replacing Robert Deniro’s head in an iconic scene from the movie “Taxi Driver”, with a rat’s.

We are delighted to have Jane Foster’s fantastic screenprints at E17 Art House, Walthamstow. Jane’s work is strongly inflenced by Scandinavian design. Her bold, happy prints in gorgeous colours, appeal to both adults and children. Her work has now been picked up on by Habitat and The Conran Shop, so we are very happy to have a large selection of Jane’s signed limited-edition prints available now at E17 Art House. Go to top

After studying at Birmingham and Brighton polytechnics, Janet taught printmaking at Newham Community College in East London. There she focused on her surroundings, documenting the local corner shops, cafes and pubs ‘all now gone in the name of progress’. The result of the artist’s observations is a collection of colourful prints, which portrait quirky east London shops and new landmarks.
Janet’s techniques are time consuming; ‘reduction lino cutting’ means cutting away the image in many stages, printing each colour by hand. At the end of the process the plate is redundant, producing a limited number of prints. Her screen prints are also printed in many layers, using separate screens for each colour, a technique that requires precision and skill. Go to top

Printmaker and painter Kirsten Schmidt, originally from Luebeck-Germany, has lived and worked in London since 1987. Studying Art and Design at Camberwell College of Art, her love of metalwork and drawing led her to learn printmaking techniques such as copper etching and drypoint. She quickly found herself fascinated by other techniques like lithography, screen printing and woodblock/lino printing, and much of her work combines more than one in the same image. Inspired by the simplicity of japanese woodblock prints she creates simple images on natural themes and symbolism. As well as printmaking Kirsten also paints colourful, vibrant landscapes in acrylic and Oil inspired by painters such as Bragwyn and Gauguin. Her work sells through galleries in London and to collectors worldwide. Go to top

E17 Art House co-owner and long-time KnD fan Elaine was lucky enough to meet them recently at their first ever London solo show. Here’s hoping we can bring them back for a future show in Walthamstow.

Before studying Graphic Design, Linus studied Engineering Mathematics so his work often has a technical approach or concept behind it. He currently works as a freelance designer in London and produces illustrations every now and then. 360 Degrees Of Cake was originally designed as a birthday present for a friend.
