Preparation

Nigel Grist is a printmaker whose work spans a variety of techniques, including linocut, collagraph, drypoint, and etching, often combining methods to create layered, textured images. Some pieces incorporate chine collé, adding depth and nuance to his compositions.

With a background as a biologist, programmer, and now a Dartmoor guide, Nigel draws on diverse experiences to inform his subject matter. His work frequently features floral and faunal elements, blended with abstraction and imagination, often inspired by microscopic cellular structures or marine invertebrates.

Landscapes, particularly Dartmoor’s ancient granite terrain, also feature prominently in his prints. His art reflects the layers of history—Bronze Age relics, medieval remnants, and Victorian features—that define these environments. Nigel’s goal is not precise representation but rather an evocation of place, capturing its essence and the hidden stories it holds.
