Hew Locke
Kings & Queens 4, 2025. Courtesy artist and Cristea Roberts Gallery, London © Hew Locke.Hew Locke (b. 1959, Edinburgh) is known for creating vibrant sculptures and large-scale installations that explore themes of history, power, and identity. Drawing on a wide range of cultural references, his richly layered work reimagines symbols of authority and examines the enduring legacies of empire.
Atelier JI had the pleasure of producing Hew Locke’s ‘Kings & Queens’ suite of fifteen screenprints for Cristea Roberts Gallery in 2025.
Executing the series required a formidable, multi-disciplinary approach in the studio. To translate the intricate depth of his vision, we engineered a suite of prints that layers heavy relief inks and delicate silkscreen washes, finished with meticulously hand-applied gold leaf.
