Lubetkin’s Penguin Pool, Kew Gardens and the old Walthamstow greyhound stadium all feature in a new printmaking exhibition dedicated to London.

A Printmaker’s London, featuring brand new works by 60 of Britain’s leading printmakers, is one of the biggest group shows dedicated to original prints of the capital and is running at Ealing's For Arts Sake gallery until the end of the month.

Highlights include Paul Catherall's new linocut of Berthold Lubetkin’s modernist Penguin Pool in London Zoo, as well as Tim Southall’s copper plate etching of the city in the Middle Ages, which features characters from Dick Whittington, and Harold Godwinson, the king who died at the Battle of Hastings.

Gail Brodholt, Gerry Baptist, John Duffin, Bonnie and Clyde, Mychael Barratt, Anna Marrow, Sophie Layton, Trevor Price, Irene Scheinmann and Martin Grover are among the exhibiting artists, who've all made their prints especially for the show.

The gallery will be holding a series of meet the artist weekends to run alongside the exhibition. These take place every Saturday afternoon for the duration of the display.

A Printmaker’s London runs until September 29 at For Arts Sake in Ealing, forartssake.com
