Exhibition: BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE @ Megalo Print Studio

Lancaster Press is a Melbourne based print studio established by master printmaker Peter Lancaster, specialising in direct lithography.

Artists are invited to collaborate with Peter Lancaster on limited edition prints.

This exhibition showcases a selection of incredible lithographs by some of Australia’s foremost artists and printmakers and highlights the calibre and diversity of work being produced at Lancaster Press.

“Bavarian limestone, grease and water – these are the essential elements that alchemist of sorts Peter Lancaster has been using for nearly two decades to assist artists in releasing their ideas onto paper through the magical process of lithography.

Since 1990 Lancaster Press has operated as a small independent printmaking studio that specialises solely in the art of lithography.

As Master Printer, over the years Peter Lancaster has worked with some of the biggest names in Australian art, including John Coburn, Louis Kahan, and Rick Amor, Mirka Mora to name a few, using this centuries old hand-driven technique to translate their varied imagery into print.” – Marguerite Brown, 2015

Some of the fantastic artists on show include Rick Amor, Robert Hague, Annika Romeyn, Locust Jones, Jim Pavlidis, Tony Ameneiro and Daniel Moynihan.
