Lin Jammet

(1958-2017)

Lin Jammet was a British painter and printmaker, and the son of sculptor Elisabeth Frink and French architect Michel Jammet. He spent part of his early childhood in France and began printmaking in the 1970s with Julian Trevelyan, a family friend whose approach had a lasting influence on his work. Jammet worked at Curwen Studio with Stanley Jones, linking him directly to the Studio’s tradition of collaborative printmaking. In 1993 he collaborated with Curwen Chilford on two lithographs, drawn onto textured polyester, before beginning an extended period of printmaking with Gresham Studios in 1994, where he turned to screenprinting and etching. His prints reflect his strong draughtsmanship, with figures and animals recurring across works that combine movement, tone, and historical or poetic subject matter.
