Chris Orr

Chris Orr - painter, draughtsman and printmaker left his post as Professor and Head of Department of the Printmaking Department at the Royal College of Art London (1998 - 2008). Other accolades coming in this decade include Royal Academician and Professor Emeritus and the MBE - (nothing to do with empirical). His beautifully crafted and acerbic work (reminiscent of Cruikshank and Gillray) is exhibited worldwide and graces a number of public collections - Arts Council of Great Britain, National Portrait Gallery, Royal Academy of Arts, Science Museum, and the Tate Gallery.

To mark his leaving an exhibition of some of his works accompanied those of other printmakers took place at the College. The college has lost one of its best...!
