Edinburgh graduate Jack Fletcher's beautiful woodcut illustrations

Date
31 July 2015

Jack Fletcher’s work caught our eye at Edinburgh University’s stand at D&AD New Blood, thanks to its mixture of strange subject matter, bold colours and traditional woodcut technique. His skill with composition makes for clean imagery that fuses tradition with modernity, whether it’s depicting witches or prospectors. Alongside creating gorgeous 2D works, Jack has also turned his skilled hands to creating 3D works from his prints, taking elements from screen prints, cutting them out and layering them into neat narratives. Each work manages to tell a story, and we reckon with skills like this young Jack will go far.
