Colin Bailey is a British artist and printmaker living and working in Hastings, East Sussex after living in Rye for ten years and Kings Cross, London for fifteen years. As a painter and etcher with a love of traditional methods and techniques, and with a printmaker's instinct for multiple images, Colin has also accepted modern art technology and makes full use of digital photography, high resolution scanning and archival quality giclee printing to reproduce his original paintings as limited edition fine art prints. At the same time Colin continues to create the detailed tonal original etchings for which he was originally best known. As a popular Rye artist Colin Bailey realised the wider appeal of this small picturesque area of England's south east coast and established Ryepress as an online portfolio for his Rye and St Pancras station original etchings. Now in Hastings, with a growing reputation as a Hastings artist he reproduces many of his new oil and acrylic paintings as fine art limited edition giclee prints, scanning his paintings personally and carefully matching the colours to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the reproduction print.
