Art Dealer has represented Cressida Campbell since 1989.
Cressida Campbell was born in Sydney in 1960. After
her initial training at the East Sydney Technical College she discovered
an affinity with the medium of woodblock printing, however, was
frustrated by the restrictions of the medium. In 1980 Campbell decided
to extend her studies abroad at the Yoshida Hanga Academy, Tokyo,
Japan which gave her the skills to manipulate the medium and develop
a new technique. Her current practise of mono-printing hand painted
wood-blocks, allows her the freedom of painting but the work has
the nature of a hand printed surface.
An astute observer, Campbell captures the patterns
and details from small still lives, intimate interiors to sweeping
landscape panoramas. The works produced are unmistakeable in their
unique quality.
