PHOEBE DEEPROSE

Phoebe Deeprose is an artist based in Cornwall. She practises an intuitive and narrative method of painting, rooted in a fascination with story-making. She explores how imaginings drift and alter between contexts over time, exploring the human and the posthuman through overlapping and merging layers of figures and landscapes.

Different viewers will recognise different imagery within the same piece. This underpins Phoebe’s work, as she explores how intricate layers of meaning can be revealed within a world we are constantly observing together, but perceiving individually. 

Years of work as a set designer and art director have influenced Phoebe. While she has gradually leant towards a slower artistic practise, this background in immersive environments and imaginative world-building continues to shape her work and her interest in perspectivism.

With an education in printed textile design, her work sometimes sits between ornament and fine art. Here, she also aims to push pattern design as a serious visual language, capable of holding deep personal narrative and emotion.  

Alongside her studio practice in Cornwall, Phoebe creates large-scale murals, painted textiles and bespoke fabric commissions for private clients and venues across the UK and Europe.
