ALLAN CHIN
Life drawing has been my primary creative focus since I was an art student.
This has led more recently to monoprinting and etching based upon drawings made in front of the model.
For many years I worked with the curators of two historic collections of prints and drawings, at the British Museum and at Windsor Castle.
This experience has informed my practice, though I like to keep my printmaking methods simple.
My current output is primarily based on single etched plates with additional layers of colour applied using monoprint techniques.
