“…We will all survive, addressed to such glimmering
shimmering transience with its insistent

invitation of other.
So close, so warm, so full.”

(Robert Creeley, Shimmer for Graham Dean,
Providence, Rhode Island, February 12, 2004)

Dean has recently returned from an International Fellowship Award at the Vermont Studio Center in the U.S.A. There he was surrounded by the stimulating company of other artists, writers, and poets from diverse cultures and social backgrounds. Robert Creeley, the celebrated American poet and critic, responded so strongly to Dean’s work in Vermont that he has written a short introduction and a dedicated poem for the catalogue that accompanies this exhibition:

“Then one night, not long before we were to leave, Graham took us to his working studio and we saw there these extraordinary images, revelations, one wants to say, of person. His ways of compounding the usual agencies of watercolor were very much a part of what made the image so haunting- its layerings, accumulations, resonances, the substance yet float of what one saw. It was an uncanny and very moving experience – and long after we’d come home, it stayed in mind.” (Robert Creeley)

Dean’s paintings are imbued with a deeply humanist quality. He describes them as “holding pens” for human emotion. His main concern running through the work exhibited in Shimmer is that of the Twin. This is expressed through the Mirror Image and through the presence of the Internal Figure:

“ … I know now that there was a literal “twin” present in the image, that phenomenon of the vestigial, physical “double”, who is not born but non the less survives in the given body of its twin. So that may well be the “other”, as it may also be the literal surviving twin… Long ago I learned that art was more given to question than to answers, and that that was its human authority. Graham Dean’s presences are a profound instance.” (Robert Creeley)

Shimmer is the third solo exhibition by one of Britain’s leading figurative painters. Examples of his work may be seen in many public and private collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Arts Council, Sir Terence Conran’s Great Eastern Hotel, The Body Shop International, Anita Roddick and Peter Gabriel. This exhibition is Dean’s first solo show since turning 50 in 2001 and marks his 30 th year of unbroken practice.

Examples of Graham Dean’s work can be seen at www.grahamdean.com and Waterhouse and Dodd.
