Stephen
Inggs was born in South Africa in 1955. He studied Printmaking
at the University of Brighton, England and the University
of Natal, South Africa. He is Director of the Michaelis School
of Fine Art, University of Cape Town. He has exhibited widely
in South Africa and is included in private and corporate collections
worldwide. In addition to his art practice and teaching he has also collaborated
on a limited edition print project with Nelson Mandela, entitled
'My Robben Island'.
Stephen's work consists of powerful yet delicate large scale
photographs, each one hand-coated with silver gelatin emulsion
onto 100% cotton mould-made paper, using traditional techniques.
The handmade, tactile and physical aspects of this process
are used deliberately to underline the references to history,
transience and the overlooked object. The final result in
each piece is a unique and original work of art.
