Greg Meade is a Manchester based printmaker specialising in linocut and risograph. The post-industrial surroundings of Ancoats provides the perfect backdrop for his creative space, where crumbling factories and terraced dwellings influence the pattern-based designs that form the body of his work.
Often devoid of people and natural elements, Greg’s print work reflects his obsession with architecture, using his bold, stylised motifs to express social and economic concerns. Space, symmetry and repetition are all tools employed by the artist to express these acutely tangible human feelings in the current turbulence of modern city life.
Proudly self-taught and with a firm focus on learning through experimentation, Greg has recently introduced a RISO MZ1070E into his print arsenal, bringing a whole new way of thinking to his creative process. Learning about the potentials and the limits of the process is something hugely exciting to him.
Having worked on numerous illustrative projects, Greg has most recently been working with Duerr’s of Manchester to create a unique pair of marmalade jar designs, bringing the humble linocut back to the very forefront of contemporary product label design.
