Chris Orr RA is one of Britain’s foremost artist-printmakers, renowned for his technical mastery, joyfully anarchic subject matter and thought provoking content. As a student he began experimenting with lithography, a process that depends on the chemical antipathy of grease and water to create a printed image. He continued making lithographs in various studios from Dallas to Paris. A decade as Professor of Printmaking at the Royal College of Art (1998 – 2008) allowed Chris Orr to engage with new ways of working, expanding his graphic vocabulary. Chris Orr's lithography closely relates to his writing, drawing, painting and printmaking in other mediums. Lithography provides him with a golden opportunity to express his complex labyrinth of ideas.
