AJ Blustin

AJ Blustin’s printmaking plays with forms, structures, flow, connections, rhythms, textures and effects of the light. This present series of linocuts document the workings of light and shadow in locations around London and East Anglia.

Blustin learned printmaking on short courses at UAL and St Barnabas Press. He was awarded the Intaglio Printmakers Prize for printmaking technique and the Awagami Prize for best relief print at the Cambridge Original Printmakers Biennale (COP) in 2016 and 2018 respectively. He was elected to the Cambridge Drawing Society in 2014.

Other group exhibitions have included the Eastern Open at King’s Lynn Arts Centre, the RA Summer Exhibition, and the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair 2023 Director’s Cut. His solo exhibitions have been at the Digby Gallery, Mercury Theatre, Colchester (2013) and the Pimlott Foundation, Great Horkesley (2021).

Blustin’s linocuts appear in The Cambridge Art Book (UIT/Green Books, 2017) and two printmaking publications from Mascot Media: Limited Edition and The Illustrated Garden, both 2018.

He also makes VegetEVILS (fabric vegetable zombies).
