Moving - On Painting

A painter based in London since 2007. She received her MA from Wimbledon College of Art in 2008. Between 2008 and 2010 her work was represented by Rollo Contemporary Art Gallery, London. She is currently one of the artists' resident at the Hospital Club Gallery in Covent Garden, London and the Artist in Residence for the Eurostar, UK, London. Her works have been continuously exhibited in UK and Europe ARTIST'S STATEMENT Built in colourful layers of vibrant acrylic, her paintings explore the idea of “somewhere spaces” appearing as escapist worlds or "wonderlands". The dreamy landscapes "float" between the sky and the forest, lakes and gardens, involving the viewer in the play between what is familiar and that which is unknown, only to settle in and confuse the viewer's eye. Coming through the materiality of the paint, the compositions conceal rather than reveal their subject – that creates the paradoxical polarity, which is the main source of Deero’s work.
