EyePlay
is a playground for the latest prints in town, a concept that brings together a panorama of artists who use print as another form of expression alongside the more traditional.  From the spark of imagination of three young multiple award winning artists and curators, Bula Chakravarty Agbo, Frank Kiely and Temsuyanger Longkumer, comes a show that is dynamic in approach towards the practice of printmaking; bringing diversity in mediums and styles as stark as chalk and cheese to the world of contemporary print.
