The Year 2020 world in chaos

This book is the visual response of the artist Deenagh Miller to the Pandemic beginning in the year 2020.
Instead of drawing consciously constructed pictures she went about creating a book of images & writing that would be experimental, spontaneous & see what the imagination & subconscious produced.

The role of art & the artist  in society is a preoccupation of mine. Why paint & draw, scuplt & create all day? What does  it mean & does it matter?
 Art affects our mood & state of mind whether we know it or not. My love of art & artists from the 10th to the 21st centuries influences my work, as does history, literature & psychology. I need to both please & provoke the viewer with thought & enquiry.

'Images of War - War causes unimaginable physical & emotional pain, suffering & madness, yet we do it again & again. Misleading the public to invade Iraq in 2003 motivated 50 oil paintings & circa 100 drawings. I painted wars in Afghanistan, Syria & Gaza. You can see some paintings in the video below.


Two books -'THE YEAR 2020 WORLD IN CHAOS' & 'ECLIPSE 2023' Were my response to the pandemic. Each has seventy drawings & a brief commentary. There are some sample pages below, but sadly the printed version doesn't reflect the quality of the originals. I have yet to resolve the issue with Amazon.

 Landscape Painting

The Impressionists love of light & colour led me to aspire to it in my own way. I have painted in France, Spain & of course  my home, the UK but Italy is my favourite place. The climate makes it easy to work outside.

             

Buildings

Buildings hold  the history & stories of how & why they were built. While drawing I often wonder about how hard it must have been to create such extraordinary creations.


When I started painting in the 1980's I worked almost entirely from direct observation, but over time the imagination has slowly taken over & become the greater influence.

THE FANTASTICAL

THE RELIGIOUS IN ART

All religions have contributed to human development, & all have contributed great art which has stood the test of time for  hundreds if not thousands of years.

'An English Village Fairy Tale' by Toots Malton.

 I hadn't seen Maggie for ages, when on the last day of October 2021 she unexpectedly appeared, with the book she'd often spoken of writing - a fairy story of her happy childhood in a famous West Country village, & she wanted me to illustrate it!

A few Illustrations to the 'English Village Fairy Story'

I had the pleasure to be interviewed with Linda Winter by John Brantingham of the Sasse Museum in California in 2022 - the audio is below.

love, loss, life

Norman Rickard. Love of my life. We were the same age, born on the same day, at the same time - April 4 1952. He died on May 7th 2007. 

The Consequences of war

War Paintings 2003 - 15

50.000 children were killed in Iraq by the 2003 invasion. I painted distressed, wounded, orphaned and dead babies and children in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Gaza, hoping to raise awareness & funds for victims of war, including soldiers but it's never enough. In my observation war is caused, not by those in the front line, but by those far away from it, who plan, design, implement, manipulate & profit from it,

The pity is few people know that most wars could be avoided by diplomacy, but sadly governments are rarely interested in that.

with few exceptions, all pictures are available. if you would like to own one, please contact me, am sure we can make an arrangement to suit us both.
