Marlborough Fine Art is delighted to be holding its first exhibition of work by internationally renowned artist John Virtue. It is his first exhibition in London since his highly acclaimed show at the National Gallery in 2005. In 2006 Marlborough invited John Virtue to participate in an annual Artists International Print Project, run by Paupers Press, at the Scuola de Grafica in Venice. The scheme, now in its sixth year, provides artists with the opportunity to spend three weeks in Venice making prints. However, the medium is strictly confined to monotypes, a very direct medium which John Virtue had not tried before and which he viewed with some trepidation. Using drawings for reference he found he could work in a way that closely related to his painting techniques. In essence, the monotypes are a continuation of his work as a painter and are effectively paintings on paper.
