Blue Darling

About

Blue Darling is the show of five artists selected by Oliver Bedeman, artist and curator. Tim Betjeman, Aidan Doherty, Claire Dorsett, Gaby Gatacre and James Trimmer are all recent graduates who are serious in their approach and confident in the language of painting. Enjoying the freedom of the art world at this early stage in their careers they have all have been exhibiting continuously since graduating and it is a natural progression to show them together in this forthcoming exhibition. Blue Darling takes its name from Claire Dorsett's beautiful and vast painting of the same title and also stands to represent this selection of works chosen to demonstrate the theme of abstract or macabre humour. What is interesting about these five artists is their individual approach to similar subjects, whether they are interpreting the Old Masters or describing a cadaver, and their shared commitment to create work of the highest quality.
