Deenagh Miller: Exuberant

Date: Thursday, Jun 7 2018 - Sunday, Jul 22 2018
Venue: Tobacco Factory Bar
Artists
Deenagh Miller

Deenagh Miller left Cornwall 40 years ago, but the influence of light
and colour still resonates within her work.

Returning to exhibit at the Tobacco Factory after her charity fundraising Images of War show in 2010, she has brought together a collection of her artworks that reflect the exuberance of people, places and the mind.

Spanning the last 28 years, this exhibition is a celebration, rejoicing in the language of bright oil paintings and vivid drawings. Travels to Italy and France and her now home city Bristol are reflected in her artwork.

People feature, single or in crowds, or in kinds of processions, often in a setting with a burlesque quality and atmosphere.

In Deenagh’s words, “I’m like a magpie. I swoop on what attracts me visually: theatrical imagery, animals, vegetation, adverts, magazines, the anatomy of the body and the written word.”

June 7-July 22, from 11am daily. Opening night Thur 7, 7.30pm, with live music from The Bear Essentials.
