Art Exhibition: Vigil
Vigil is an exhibition of large-scale work in charcoal by Janice Deary showing at Patriothall Gallery in April.
About Art Exhibition: Vigil
The vigil is a universal phenomenon: in times of uncertainty, people gather together to keep watch, to pray, to bear witness. To hold up a light in defiance of the darkness. Charcoal is a challenging medium: simple and stark, yet capable of great expressive depths. Prehistoric, accessible, sustainable. Perfect for large-scale work, and for exploring themes of light and dark.
Originally from South Africa, Janice Deary now lives in Scotland and has a studio in Newburgh. After pursuing her academic interests in Philosophy, Janice turned her interests to Fine Art, achieving an MFA from the University of Dundee in 2020.
You are invited to the preview event at Patriothall Gallery on Saturday 8 April, 4pm-6pm.
