Deborah Hercun
Deborah Hercun is a printmaker-photographer who plays with images, moving and still, colour and monochrome. In response to a peripatetic background, she seeks stillness in her works, with an interest in time and loss, fragments and perspectives. Her love of photography has a perfect partner in both photopolymer etching and screenprinting, where making the familiar unfamiliar can be taken a step further. 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.
