David Peduzzi

David Peduzzi is a printmaker with a particular interest in wood engraving. 

”The process of making a wood engraving is a mix of drawing, delightful materials and simple technology. The prints have a particular character with silvery lines and bold contrasts that cannot result from any other medium. There is potential to create an intriguing little space in a very simple way. My approach is to describe movement, to try and capture a moment without losing the sense of motion.”

He also makes drawings of upland landscapes and skies, with an interest in the surface of the land and how it meets the sky. The aim is to make images that endure and involve the viewer in a credible moment, with a real sense of light and space.
 
David studied at Hornsey and Bath Academy of Art, graduating in 1979. He worked as an illustrator, graphic designer and manager in publishing before devoting all his time to developing as a printmaker. He has exhibited with the Society of Wood Engravers, at PrintFest and at three recent Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions.
