John Martin Gallery is pleased to present South African artist Deborah Bell's exhibition A Far Country. This is Deborah's second UK exhibition which brings together recent sculptures and paintings from the last four years including her major series based on the song, See Line Woman. The show also provides an opportunity to exhibit two of her most important monumental works, Artemis and Crossing II which will both be on show at this summer's Glyndebourne Festival.
In her monumental sculptures and paintings, and across the mediums of drawing and printmaking, Deborah's abraded, time-worn images reach back through collective memories and across a wide sweep of cultures and histories. Her work is both immediate and timeless, utilising a process of layering, shaping, erasing and reworking each piece until it resonates with the emotions that initiated the work.
