Bryan Poole

Botanical etchings

Studio opposite, 30 Wilton Way, E8 3EE

The renowned botanist and collector of botanical art, Dr Shirley Sherwood, has written:

Bryan’s work is outstanding in a number of ways beyond his reintroduction of painstaking printing techniques pioneered by Redoute.

These are vigorous, powerful works with a fascinating scientific underlay…

His distinctive designs combine meticulous observation and attention to detail with an ability to create striking pictures, both bold, memorable and brilliantly executed.

Bryan was a Royal Horticultural Society Gold Medal winner and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE). His work is held in major galleries worldwide including the Natural History Museum, London, the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art, Kew, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, the Smithsonian Institute, Washington and the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation, Pittsburgh, USA.

His daughter Helena Poole will also have a small selection of her modern ceramic pieces (including vases, candle holders and Christmas decorations), on which she draws classical art, on display and for sale. (Instagram: @poole_ceramics).

Bryan’s studio was once an air raid shelter and is right on the street diagonally opposite 30 Wilton Way.
