Previous Exhibitions

For October 2023, ZIMMERMAN is delighted to present Aquarius Moon, a new series of mixed media paintings on board by Deano Shirriffs. 

The works range in size from a 30 cm circle to an impressive 120 cm circle, evoking a sense of other-worldly landscapes, swirling vortexes, and watery luminous orbs floating in space.

Commentary on the artist's exhibition is set out underneath the images below.

Shirriffs' abstract landscape paintings explore a connection to the natural world and the cosmos.

Finding form and inspiration from the environment, and the alignments of planets and stars, the artist embeds in his paintings concepts relevant to the themes he investigates in each new body of work.

In 2022, the Aries Sun series was a fiery, explosive body of work, created by the artist in his 40th year. 

This month’s exhibition, Aquarius Moon, contemplates the artist’s moon sign, with works exploring the watery ethereal qualities of moonlight and the energy of tidal forces.

Shirriffs has pushed his mediums to their extremes in these latest paintings, experimenting with textured surfaces and layering effects beneath resin waves.

The resulting works evoke a sense of other-worldly landscapes, swirling vortexes, and watery luminous orbs floating in space.

"Aquarius Moon" runs until Sunday 29 October 2023.
