Debbie Baird and Brian Wood, Ego: Identity And Power

Debbie Baird and Brian Wood are figurative oil painters who studied together and have previously exhibited with other artists in London.

Both artists share an interest in expressing the essence of the individual, and the nature of their relationship with the world. Each has their own approach, creating a mix of vibrant emotive images and powerful social commentary.

Debbie’s work combines oil paint with collage, creating interest and complexity to enrich her narrative on the way our identities are coloured by our backgrounds.

Brian describes his process as ‘painting conversations’, between himself, his subjects, and the viewer. He builds narratives on the impact of power: how it is used and misused, and how this shapes who we are.

Debbie and Brian will be talking about their work and their practice at a Private View to be held mid-way through the exhibition.

Private View: Saturday 25 October 2.00pm – 4.00pm
Exhibition closes: Saturday 1 November 5.00pm
