Jane Deakin is a British artist whose life is closely linked to London. She was born in Kennington in 1962 and attended the prestigious James Allen's Girls' School. Her interest in art was piqued, and she enrolled in Fine Arts at Reading University, where she specialized in painting and sculpture and graduated with a bachelor's degree. For more than 30 years, Deakin has lived in Rotherhite, a neighborhood in southeast London, where she is considered a fixture on the local artist scene. The Café Gallery in Southwark Park or the River Gallery were her first stations as an exhibiting painter. In 2016, she presented her works under the title "Songbird" at the Brunel Museum, her largest solo exhibition to date.
At the heart of Deakin's work is the beauty of nature. Abstract depictions of landscapes, but also still lifes in pastel colors. The artist often works "open air", preferably in her native Rotherhite, where she puts local moods, buildings and gardens on canvas. She often looks for a spot directly on the Thames and draws inspiration from there. To large, dramatic paintings or even tiny, almost intimate or romantic images, other times she swaps the canvas for wood or slate - she enjoys this variety. Thematically, nature remains Deakin's constant, in recent years, landscapes and plants were joined by animals: birds, goats or rabbits. The painter likes to use strong colors, blurring them and adding accents in black, often resulting in an "ethereal look," as she calls it. These interesting color combinations and dreamlike, almost magical landscapes have made Deakin's works successful as reproductions. The painting "Valley of the Waterfalls" even made it into a motif for jigsaw puzzles, yoga mats and beach towels. Another painting has had a chequered fate: "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" - it was exhibited, sold, returned, repainted and renamed "A Wandering Minstrel". The painting that sold for the most at auction was "Tiger Lillies". This is a three-part painting (triptych) in oil, showing floral elements in an abstract-looking landscape. The composition with orange, yellow and beige base tone looks extremely lively and light.
What sets Deakin apart is her wide-ranging interest in artistic expression: She appears in plays and performances, writes and recites poetry at local events. As a singer, she can be seen in church choirs and as a soloist. She is an active member of several artist groups in South London.
