The Wonder Wall: Printmaking Sans Frontiers
The Wonder Wall: Printmaking Sans Frontiers is the culmination of over three decades of collaborative printmaking, led by South African artist and master printer Jonathan Comerford.
About The Wonder Wall: Printmaking Sans Frontiers
This exhibition is a showcase of linocuts by 50+ artists across four continents, collaboratively printed by Jonathan Comerford, exploring identity, culture, and connection through 30+ years of printmaking.
This powerful exhibition brings together 50+ linocut prints by 50+ artists from Africa, the UK, Europe, and the United States, all working within the democratic, accessible tradition of relief printmaking. A passionate advocate for collaboration and inclusion, Jonathan founded the program in 1991 as part of his workshop, Hard Ground Printmakers, in Cape Town, South Africa. Born during the final years of apartheid and expanding internationally over time, the project has always championed the idea of art without borders—art that is not limited by geography, medium, identity, or ideology.
The linocut—long valued for its directness and affordability—serves here as an egalitarian means of visual expression. Whether in the hands of an experienced printmaker or a first-time block carver, the medium offers immediacy and impact. The artists represented in the exhibition range widely in background and approach: some are seasoned printmakers, while others are better known as painters, sculptors, photographers, or designers. Each was invited to respond freely to the open-ended concept of art sans frontiers—art beyond boundaries.
