Bob Bain: Northern Enlightenment - printed works 1975 - 1986

Bob Bain (1949-1989) was an artist and printmaker from Aberdeen, Scotland. He studied at Gray’s School of Art from 1970-75 before teaching printmaking at Peacock (then Peacock Printmakers) from 1975-77. Bain was a lecturer in Art and Design at Aberdeen College of Commerce and exhibited his work regularly in group shows across Scotland. Notably, his prints were part of the Peacock Touring Show of Yugoslavia. Peacock are custodians of Bob Bain’s printed pieces and hold a significant body of work from his time printing at Peacock. His legacy continues through his visionary linocuts serving as reminders to create work based on an ‘emotional response to nature’s moods’. A true romanticist, Bain’s works are the very embodiment of personal narrative through a printed medium.

Ralph Steadman for Peacock

"Peacock Printmakers are to my mind- and way of thinking – the very best place in this World to express our visual thoughts – as Visual Arts – Prints of the finest quality – Prints to be proud of – and worthy of all the hard work it takes to produce them……" - Ralph Steadman
