Deborah Grice

Saul Hay Gallery Stand: 306

Deborah Grice is a British painter from a small farming village in the East Riding of Yorkshire and currently works from her studio on the banks of the River Humber.
 
Her inspiration is drawn from the philosophy and aesthetics of the nineteenth century romantic landscape painters. By appropriating their visual tropes, she lures the viewer into a sense of familiarity.
 
On closer viewing Debbie creates a disturbance and gentle provocation with the addition of incongruous graphic forms. These forms can take the shape of golden lines, scarlet tee sections and quadrilaterals. The geometric shapes within the paintings are used as a device that not only creates a visual dissonance but asks questions of the viewer.

 

Her work is currently being exhibited in the John Moores Painting Prize 2025 at the Walker Gallery, Liverpool
