目の戸 | Mado
28 October - 21 November 2021目の戸 | Mado is an exhibition of new works by Paul Furneaux RSA. Renowned for his mastery of the Japanese printmaking technique of Mokuhanga, Furneaux’s work takes inspiration from the colours, shapes and textures of both the Scottish and Japanese landscapes.
The Japanese word for ‘wood block print,’ Mokuhanga is a traditional printing technique, originating in ancient China and used in Japan since the eighth century. Differing from the oil-based inks used in a Western woodcut, a Mokuhanga print is made with water-based inks which allow for a wide range of vivid colours. Furneaux uses the rich colours available in his Mokuhanga printmaking process to evoke the ever-changing landscapes of both the Scottish and Japanese archipelagos.

Paul Furneaux RSA
BiographyPaul Furneaux was born in Ellon, Aberdeenshire, in 1962 and studied Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art (1982-1987). Winning the Monbusho Scholarship in 1996, Furneaux was able to begin comprehensive research into the art of woodblock printing and undertook a Masters degree in the subject at Tama Art University, Tokyo (1998-2000).
During his time in Tokyo, Furneaux developed his interest in the Mokuhanga printmaking technique which has underwritten his practice ever since. Furneaux has been the recipient of numerous prestigious awards including the RSA Salvesen Scholarship; the RSA Gillies Bequest Award and the Hope Scott Trust Award. In 2006 he was elected a Member of the Royal Scottish Academy.
