Deborah Hercun​

Deborah Hercun plays with images, moving and still, colour and monochrome. Given her peripatetic background, she has a great interest in time and loss, fragments and perspectives. She takes photographs that don’t have a conventional angle, leaving the viewer to ponder for an extra second or two about the image – part play, part intention. Her love of photography has a perfect partner in photopolymer etching, where ‘making strange’ can be taken a step further, and where no two prints are exactly the same. She also uses her photographs in screenprinting, and is planning to develop artists books in the future.

 

A recent convert to printmaking after a career as a book editor, Deborah Hercun made up for lost time with myriad workshops and courses at London Print Studio, East London Printmakers, City Lit and Morley College, where she takes part in an advanced printmaking workshop. She is also a member of Kew Studio and ELP, and has her own small studio at Worton Hall.

 

She recently formed the collective CG.05 with printmakers Shirley Hunter and Zoltan Marfy. They held their first exhibition ‘Still’ at Boo’s Closet, Notting Hill, in the summer of 2022.

 

2022 exhibitions Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, Wells Art Contemporary, Southbank Printmakers Mini Print Competition, East London Printmakers Festival of Print, Summer Exhibition at Morley College (Chelsea), Artfusion Holy Art, Southbank Printmakers Winter Exhibition and Kew Studio Winter Exhibition.
