Artist with links to Banksy opens exhibition in north Norfolk

Arthur Buxton is a master printer who has made prints for many famous artists, including Sir Peter Blake.

Formerly based in Bristol, he set up and managed a studio for Steve Lazarides, Banksy’s former manager, back in 2021.

But the 42-year-old has now found a quieter life in Norfolk, setting up his own printmaking workshop and studio in the village of Corpusty.

“This is a dream come true,” Mr Buxton said. “I wanted a new challenge, to set up on my own and give it a go.

“I love the light here, there’s something about it, it’s gorgeous.”

An exhibition of some of his recent prints is currently being held at the Allen Hall Gallery in Glandford until January 18.

“Slugs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails” sees the artist explore dreams, nightmares and fantasies.

Karen Hall, who runs the Allen Hall Gallery, added: “I knew there was something special about Arthur. 

“I’m delighted he’s agreed to exhibit with me and excited to see where our plans for the future take us.”
