Katayoun Dowlatshahi trained as a fine art printmaker at Edinburgh College of Art. During her Masters in European Fine Art in Barcelona and Winchester she began to deviate from traditional print techniques to experiment with scale and installation work and since her doctorate research has focused on a unique 19th century analogue printmaking process called Carbon printing. Images can be photographic or drawn but the images are derived from pigments suspended in gelatine and can be transferred to a wide range of materials. Carbon prints are crafted by hand and rich in texture and colour and considered the most archival photographic print processes to be invented. She is unique in being the only artist practitioner working in the UK, and one of the few worldwide, specialising in this historic process and teaching it.
'The Contemplations' is a series of artworks conceived specifically for Carbon printing just prior to the pandemic. Created by Katayoun, the images touch on themes of life and death through her reflections on nature. The images being submitted are a selection from this series.
Katayoun has been awarded several national and international residencies, fellowships and exhibited regularly, both in the UK and abroad. Her most significant print commission was awarded her in 2023, to print 25 Carbon prints for the National Portrait Gallery in London, from Madam Yevonde's glass plate negatives for the exhibition 'Yevonde, Life and Colour' that has just completed its tour in Newcastle.
