I met Ben Lawrence of The Cold Press at Tent where his tightly edited stand exuded calm amidst the general hyperactivity of the show. The Cold Press concept has a combination of activities: a gallery in Holt showing and selling work by artisits and makers and a print studio with cottage as artists’ accommodation. The feeling of serenity pervades throughout.
I particularly liked Kai Samuels-Davis’ small melancholic paintings and was surprised to find that he’s based in California; his work has such a European feel.
It’s good to see that they also show Sebastian Cox, who I’ve written about in the past. Definitely a place to visit if you’re in Norfolk.
