Returning to the New Ashgate Gallery with an innovative new exhibition of work,

Graham Dean is a contemporary painter of international renown.

This exhibition will present Dean's work in an innovative way, not perhaps a progression from his most recent solo Sleepers at Waterhouse & Dodd in 2009, but based loosely on the documentary Falling between the Floorboards, flimed over a year between 2008-2009 in various European locations as well as in the artist's studio while he worked. The artist believes this type of exhibition to be unusual, and like nothing he has done previously.

The artist and Gallery Director will curate this exhibition collaboratively - hanging unframed works contextually with excerpts from the artist's sketchbook.

Daily screenings of a documentary, Falling between the Floorboards, made about Dean in 2009 will complement the work, adding another dimension to the visitor's experience.

Footprints

The gallery will exhibit 30 of Dean's Footprints works. Footprints is a series of numbered, limited original unframed pieces. Dean has ceased work on this series, so the pieces are very collectible, and more affordable than other works in his repertoire. For example, the average realised price of a Graham Dean work ranges from £1500 - £2500, and the pieces from the Footprints series are priced at approximately £500.
