Lorenzo Davitti
Printmaker
Lorenzo Davitti was born in Florence and graduated in Psychology at the University of Florence, Italy, and earned a MA degree in Illustration and Visual Media at the London College of Communication, London, UK. He has worked as a freelance illustrator, animator and colourist before specialising in printmaking. He lives in London, where he also works as a Printmaking technician at UCA. Lorenzo has great knowledge in lino, etching, mono, wood cut and book binding.
Lorenzo’s process is one where accidental gestures are counterbalanced by controlled application of the technique. Decisions regarding marks, lines and colours are taken intuitively and rapidly; in this experimental method, planning is as valid as improvisation or accident.
Selected exhibitions include the National Original Printmaking Exhibition, in the Bankside Gallery; the Awagami Printmaking Exhibition, Japan; Woolwich Contemporary Print Festival; the London Design Festival, in London; the College Book Art Association Meeting, USA; the Fourth International Printmaking Biennal, Serbia.
