our mission

The mission of Ellipsis Prints is to provide support and encouragement to women and non-binary artists. An ‘ellipsis’ is the ‘…’ symbol. In this context it represents those genders frequently forgotten and excluded by the mainstream art world. Ellipsis Prints works with some of the most talented contemporary women and non-binary artists in the UK. We fund their training in printmaking and the production of their prints as well as encouraging the development of their careers through visibility, sales and support. Ellipsis Prints works exclusively with women and non-binary artists in order to address the gender imbalance still prevalent in the contemporary art world.

our curator

Ellipsis Prints is run by Kate Neave, a curator, creative producer and art writer with a passion for working with underrepresented artists. Kate curates independently and has worked on large international exhibitions and collections such as Manifesta 11 and the Soho House collection. Kate writes extensively on contemporary art for publications including Hero, Public Offerings and Twin Magazine.

our story

I launched the Ellipsis Prints as a way to take positive action to bring attention and encouragement to women and non-binary artists. As a writer and curator, I find myself drawn to artists whose work speaks directly to my own interests. At the same time, I continue to be surprised and saddened by the inequalities which perpetuate in the contemporary art world. Women and non-binary artists are marginalised by the mainstream and opportunities are increasing at a painfully slow rate. Until there is gender equality, I believe women and non-binary focussed projects are necessary to provoke change.

our artists

In their broader practices, our artists work in areas spanning a variety of mediums from performance to installation work. They are creating vital, important work and haven’t yet received a fraction of the attention they deserve. They are names to watch. The first collection of prints was created in 2019 with Gabriele Beveridge, Lydia Boehm, Bea Bonafini, Scarlett Bowman, Phoebe Collings-James, May Hands, Hannah Lees, Daisy Parris, Milly Peck, Hannah Rowan, Devlin Shea and Lucy Whitford. Our second collection of prints was created in 2021 with Alexi Marshall, Emily Moore, Kim Booker, Jala Wahid, Olivia Strange, Sunyoung Hwang, Valerie Savchits, Yulia Iosilzon and Xie Rong. Just recently launched on 14 December 2023 is our third collection of prints with enorê, Hannah Lim, Harriet Gillett, Holly Stevenson, Qian Qian and Yulia Lebedeva.

our prints

All of our art prints are limited edition Risograph prints. They are created on a Risograph machine–a vintage printing machine which originated in Japan in the 1980s. It uses a stencil and ink system to print one layer at a time in a method similar to screenprinting. Risograph printing is an environmentally friendly printmaking method. The prints use a limited selection of vivid colours and have a distinct colourful charm and handmade high-quality feel. They are printed on beautiful Olin paper in natural white. Each print is a unique design sold only by us and is an edition of 100. Once all 100 have been sold, they will never be any more prints produced in that design.
