Altea Grau-Vidal
Altea´s artwork explores the concept of reading and the notion of the double page spread as a place to develop site-specific practice to investigate the meaning that emerges from the engagement with the visual, spatial, material and connotative properties of the double page. The use of printmaking within Altea’s work has an important impact in the way she develops visual and conceptual ideas. Through a deep understanding of the print techniques, she develops a visual language that tries to question the parameters not only of the process of printing itself but also of the elements of the page. . Her work is part of collections such including the V&A Library, Chelsea Special Collection, Leeds College of Arts Special Collection, DKV Foundation, Consorci de Museus de la Generalitat Valenciana (Spain) and the Harold Berg Collection amongst others.
She holds a BA in Fine Arts by the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain) and MA in Visual Arts (Book Arts) by the Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London. She recently completed her PhD in Visual Arts at the University of the Arts London.
