Benoît Pomel Revives Printmaking As A Hands-On Art Of Ink, Plate, And Careful Pressure
Benoît Pomel is a French printmaker, engraver, and draughtsman whose practice centers on linocut, drypoint, and Tetra Pak printing. He appears to work in limited editions and keeps a strong studio-led practice focused on the physical craft of printmaking.
His imagery often leans toward seaside scenes, flowers, and intimate workshop studies, with the printed surface itself treated as part of the image’s character. Recent posts show him inventorying engraved plates and sharing studio progress, which gives the work a very material, process-centered feel. The tone is modest, tactile, and rooted in traditional techniques rather than digital polish.

Pomel’s public profile explicitly mentions linogravure and gravure sur TetraPak, and his gallery bio confirms a background in fine arts. The workshop photos suggest a maker who is deeply invested in the mechanics of image transfer, ink load, plate making, and editioning. That makes the work feel both handcrafted and disciplined.
