Alistair Gow is fascinated with things that present potential: blank spaces, billboards, and pictures hanging on studio or walls and trees are recurring motifs. He creates artworks which invite questions - What is happening here? What could go there? Why has the artist valued this object? How has this been made? The practice of printmaking, particularly the process, the craft, and the community of a workshop, is essential to how Gow thinks about and makes art. Printmaking generally progresses in a structured way that allows continual reflection and decision making. The hand and mind need to work in tandem. Gow tends to leave clues as to how the work has been made, such as slivers of colour in mis-registration of etching plates or cut marks in a woodblock print – for him, the process needs to be evident. The material quality of print is of personal significance and the surface of the paper is often as important as the scene described. Gow graduated with a BA Hons from the Glasgow School of Art in 2010 and has worked as a collaborating printmaker at Glasgow Print Studio since 2014.
