A selection of photogravure prints made available at the London Original Print Fair 14th-17th May 2026
Henrik Knudsen is a London based Danish artist and photographer known for his atmospheric and cinematic imagery.
The new series of prints aims to reshape the atmosphere and light of the photographic image into tactile prints using ink, texture and paper tone. Exploring traditional intaglio printmaking techniques, each image is hand-printed using the polymer photogravure process, sometimes in combination with other hybrid and digital processes.
