Graham Dean Watercolour Exhibition

20th January 2012

 Graham Dean:
 A 60th Birthday Exhibition

Graham Dean exhibits his large-scale watercolours of figures all over the world, but most regularly in London and his adopted hometown, Brighton. This may be that most traditional medium, watercolour, but there is nothing timid or tentative about Graham’s work. He uses the paint at its most fluid, producing luscious effects that allow the colours to puddle and flow on its hand-made Indian paper. The scale, unusual for the medium, gives the bold shapes and vivid colours room to breathe amongst the textures.

Included in this exhibition are works related specifically to 2012 and the sports agenda created by the Olympics. There is a wide variety of paintings dating

Graham Dean was born in Birkenhead in 1951 and attended the Laird School of Art in the town before moving away and creating the international career he now enjoys. His last exhibition at the Williamson was The Green Room in 1995 and we are pleased now to celebrate his 60th year with an exhibition of recent work.

Dates:    28th January – 26th February 2012

Venue:    Williamson Art Gallery & Museum
