The Soden Print Shop has launched in Shrewsbury, offering a wide range of high quality prints from some of the country’s leading artists.

Jonathan Soden, owner of the Soden Collection at Wyle Cop, said the store was set up to mark his company’s fifth anniversary.

“We want to make art more accessible, so we’ve curated an exciting and extensive portfolio of high-quality prints as a permanent feature of the Soden collection,” he said.

“Artists have always been fascinated by print – from Stone Age hand stencils to Warhol’s soup cans – it’s a favored medium for creative expression.

“Not only do we want to showcase the art itself, but also the artistry of printmaking and what can be achieved in this area.

“The Soden Print Shop is now proud to offer exceptional quality limited edition prints from some of the UK’s most celebrated artists.”

An extensive exhibition is currently on display at the gallery, featuring rare lithographs by artists such as former Shrewsbury School pupil Sir Kyffin Williams, Paula Rego, Sir Peter Blake, Mary Fedden, Antony Micallef, John Bellany, Patrick Proctor, Josef Herman, Edwina Sandys and more.
