Kit Boyd A.R.E
Kit's artworks explore our relationship with landscape and our place in nature. He follows the British romantic tradition with reference to Samuel Palmer and the neo-romantic artists of the 1940s.
Most of his etchings follow on from an original painting or drawing. Hand-coloured versions of some etchings are also available in our gallery. His linocut of Greenwich Park is a popular print, shown at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2022, and made by the RA into a greetings card which is sold across the country. A later version appeared on the front of Breathe magazine in 2025, and is now being used by British Airways on one of their inflight amenity bags in a collaboration with Rise Art.
Kit works from Art Hub studios next to the Thames Barrier in Charlton and has been a member of Greenwich Printmakers since 2012. He has made commissions for English Heritage, 6 posters for train stations between Sevenoaks and Swanley in Kent, a book jacket and 4 linocut illustrations for Penguin Random House, and in 2025 made a linocut for the V&A shop based on Samuel Palmer's In a Shoreham Garden. In 2024 he was elected as an Associate member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers.
His work is referenced in several books including The Romantic Impulse by Gerard Hastings, and The Poetic Impulse: The Etchings of Samuel Palmer, his Peers and Followers by Elizabeth Harvey-Lee. In 2026 he was on a panel at the London Original Print Fair with Abbott and Holder to talk about the etchings of Samuel Palmer and Graham Sutherland.
