Duncan Montgomery
£0.00
Duncan Montgomery is a printmaker from the North-East of England, now based in London, who uses figurative wood engraving to explore antiquarian subjects.
“Kouroi — Mixed Pond” is part of a series of prints made in collaboration with the cultural historian George Townsend on historic bathing places in England, including the bathing ponds on Hampstead Heath and Parson’s Pleasure, a centuries-old bathing place in Oxford that was closed in the 1990s. These prints explore the lost meanings of these sites, and social nakedness generally, through figurative and landscape wood engraving, while referencing early photography and Greek statuary. From March to July 2023, a selection of prints from the series was shown in ‘Here: A Fair Resting Place’, a work in progress exhibition in the Peltz Gallery Vitrine at the Birkbeck School of Arts in Gordon Square, London. Montgomery has also shown work with Southbank Printmakers and the Society of Wood Engravers.
