Christopher Roantree & Akarsh Kummattummal are an international, award winning, multi disciplinary, London based collaboration practising in traditional etching and developing the intaglio print tradition.
The duo unite the junctions of their own cultural histories and understanding through the printing plate and the publication of editions. The work draws heavily on landscape as a playground to tackle themes of environmental discord and multi dimensional storytelling. They are represented by Eames Fine Art.

The work explores the intersection of nature, human histories, and imagination through junctions where the collaborators find cultural, artistic synergy. This love affair with the natural world and landscape delves into the concept of Rewilding, both from  ecological and psychological human dimensions, while extolling the history of cinematic, gaming, and comic book culture. Potential human obsolescence is evoked in a continuous unravelling narrative where these habitats lean towards ideas of the multi dimensional and stories become cyclical,  mirrored and broken, looking back in on themselves. The work is firmly rooted in the intaglio tradition, the conclusion, the plate- objet d’art, printing press and the edition attest the makers time together.
