Born and raised in Southwest England, Lee Nutland grew up in Somerset, studied in Falmouth, Cornwall, and now lives and works in Bristol having graduated with an MA in Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking from UWE, Bristol in 2023. Through his work Lee explores the fragility of that which is perceived to be permanent. With an experimental approach, he combines elements of monoprint within the relief printmaking process, building layers of tone and texture to capture atmosphere and emotion. Inspired by prehistoric stone monuments, Lee considers their place in the landscape and human consciousness and how that relates to current attitudes towards the environment and the human experience. Through the act of walking in the landscape he creates a connection to those who have gone before and considers the passage of time, our place in history and the finite nature of existence. Lee is the 2023/24 recipient of the Peter Reddick Bursary Award for Innovation in Contemporary Relief Printmaking from Spike Print Studio, Bristol.
