Ellipsis Prints

Ellipsis Prints

Ellipsis Prints was founded to address a structural imbalance: women and non-binary artists remain significantly underrepresented across galleries, collections and institutions. Rather than waiting for those structures to correct themselves, Ellipsis works directly with artists at pivotal stages in their careers, commissioning editioned works that extend and consolidate their practices.

Each project approaches print not as reproduction, but as translation. An edition becomes a site of focus: a shift in scale, circulation or material that allows an artist’s thinking to move differently. We work closely with each artist to develop editions that feel rigorous, intentional and aligned with their wider practice.

Ellipsis is both a commissioning platform and a quiet form of advocacy. By funding production, facilitating sales and building a considered collector community, we aim to create meaningful, sustained support—not just visibility, but momentum.

Kate Neave launched Ellipsis Prints as a way to take direct, practical action. As a curator and writer, I am continually inspired by the depth and ambition of work being made by women and non-binary artists. At the same time, the disparities in representation and opportunity remain stark. Progress is happening, but slowly, and unevenly. Ellipsis exists to contribute to that shift in a tangible way. Each edition is a small but deliberate intervention: a means of redistributing attention, resources and long-term support. Until equity within the art world is no longer aspirational but structural, projects like Ellipsis remain necessary.

All Ellipsis editions are limited edition Risograph prints produced in London. The Risograph — a stencil-based printing process developed in Japan in the 1980s — prints one colour layer at a time, creating distinctive tonal variation and texture. The process sits somewhere between screenprint and digital reproduction, combining precision with a visible, tactile quality. We work with a limited palette and high-quality natural white paper, allowing each artist’s work to translate thoughtfully into print. Each edition is limited to 100. Once an edition is placed, it will not be reproduced, protecting the integrity of the work and the long-term value of the edition.
