1 Paintings & Prints Exhibition runs 16 June - 7 July 2012

2 My work is about peeling back layers to reveal something hidden beneath the surface. I don t always make a print for editioning in the conventional way. I am constantly in search of freshness, spontaneity, immediacy of line, rich textures and layers. Corinna Button Marking the launch of original prints Bath Contemporary is proud to present a solo exhibition of work by British painter and print maker Corinna Button. Currently based in Chicago, Corinna completed her fine art education at Leeds before going on to post graduate studies in advanced print making in London. She exhibits internationally and has works in various public and private collections including the BBC, the University of Aberstwyth and the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. Using print as only a starting point, it is the melding of media that really sets Corinna s practice apart. She uses paint, line and collage as well as a myriad of different print techniques, scraping back layers before reapplying new ones. This creates a uniqueness and dynamism to her work that draws the viewer in. Corinna explores the social interactions and relationships of both individuals and groups of people, often women and in threes, with gentle humour and a grain of grit. The effect is to leave you smiling with the residue of some kind of shared experience. Following the success of a major exhibition at the Zhou B Art Centre in Chicago, Sergio Gomez the curator and director of exhibitions says, Combined with mastery of execution, Corinna Button conquers our imagination by placing a perennial mirror into our collective human experience.
