Celebrating UK Graphic Art From The Harvey Lloyd Archive

Headline sponsors L&S Printing

This month-long exhibition celebrates the vitality of the UK graphic arts scene, explored through five decades of screenprinting history drawn from the archive of Harvey Lloyd. Curated by Owen Gildersleeve, the show brings together leading contemporary figures including Mr Doodle, Mr Bingo, Orla Kiely, Anthony Burrill, Supermundane, Sarah Boris and Seb Lester, alongside many other archive works and newly commissioned limited-edition prints.

Alongside these established names, Grand Matter will introduce a select group of emerging artists, placing new talent in direct dialogue with industry heavyweights and reinforcing Harvey Lloyd’s role in supporting the next generation.

Delivered in collaboration with Look Again, the month-long exhibition is supported by a live programme of drawing performances, talks and workshops — positioning the project as both a celebration of legacy and a platform for future creative growth.

Harvey Lloyd will be offering free drop-in screen printing on 13th June 11am – 1pm and 2 – 4pm.
