Gallery: Road roller turns out art at The Big Print
ByThe Courier Reporter
A three-tonne road roller put the finishing touches to 10 new artworks celebrating Dundees history, culture and landscape to bring the inaugural Print Festival Scotland (PFS) to a dramatic conclusion on Saturday. The Big Print brought professional artists, students and local school and community groups together to create a series of 190cm x 90cm lino tiles inspired by themes as diverse as the demolition of Tayside House, pioneering social reformer Mary Lily Walker and urban foxes. The volunteers congregated in the car park of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design to see a road roller print the designs on to paper in front of crowds of people. The resulting 10 new artworks will go on display in the creative learning suite at the McManus to coincide with the Modern Masters in Print Exhibition.
