Eames Fine Art Gallery is set to present Paul Catherall: Less Is More, a new solo exhibition running from 15 October to 9 November, marking the celebrated printmaker’s exploration of restraint and precision in design.
The show opens with a private viewing on Wednesday 15 October, from 6.00 to 8.30pm, at the gallery’s Bermondsey Street space. Attendees will be welcomed with drinks and the chance to meet Paul Catherall while experiencing his latest series of linocut prints for the first time.
With his distinct visual language of crisp geometry and rich tonal balance, Paul Catherall has long been recognised for capturing the spirit of Britain’s architectural icons. His works bridge technical craftsmanship with emotional depth, creating prints that resonate with both art enthusiasts and design lovers.
In Less Is More, Catherall re-engages with the minimalist ethos that has defined his career. The new works embody a focus on reduction and precision, expressing the artist’s belief that true power lies in simplicity.
“This show marks a return to a mantra I’ve found myself using time and again over the years,” said Paul Catherall. “To distil a subject to its very essence without unnecessary embellishment – that’s when a print truly comes alive.”
Among the highlights of the exhibition are new and reimagined prints of Battersea Power Station, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the BT Tower, as well as fresh interpretations of Victor Pasmore’s Apollo Pavilion and a serene series of birch tree compositions.
Over the years, Catherall has collaborated with major names including Transport for London, British Airways, Marks & Spencer, Faber & Faber, and publishing houses such as Bloomsbury and HarperCollins. His pieces are held in prominent public and private collections, including the Southbank Centre and the Royal Shakespeare Society.
Hailing from Coventry and now based in London, Catherall continues to draw influence from the post-war modernist and Brutalist architecture of his upbringing, alongside inspiration from artists such as Edward McKnight Kauffer, Tom Purvis, Cézanne, and Sickert.
Collectors purchasing within the first week will be invited to an exclusive event at the gallery, where Catherall will discuss the ideas, inspirations, and process behind his latest collection.
