Ophelia Redpath has had a career spanning 20 years, exhibiting in over 100 shows in Britain and overseas. She was born in Cambridge, where she still lives. From 1983 to 1984 she attended the Art Foundation Course at CCAT, after which she went to Homerton College to study Music and Education. At the end of a year, she left the course to begin her career as a full-time painter, which she has been ever since. She regularly exhibits at The Wren Gallery, Burford; Cambridge Contemporary Art; the Russell Gallery, London; and the Darryl Nantais Gallery, Cambridge. She continues to draw strength from her artistic heritage provided by her grandmother, Brenda Moore, and grandfather, Leonard Campbell-Taylor. Her mother, a pianist and musician, and her father, an English Don at Cambridge, introduced her to the possibilities of music and literature, which have become strong ingredients in her work.
The painter and collector David Carr (1915-1968) has been described as “a lost genius in the canon of Post-War British Artists, a pioneering creator who succeeded in his quest to paint man`s epic struggle for individual identity”. He was born to a wealthy family in London in 1915 who owned the biscuit manufacturing business of the same name. He was educated at Uppingham and began his working career at the family firm where his father was chairman, but he hated the commercial world and left to read History at Oxford. In the 1950s Carr began a remarkable series of works depicting man`s relationship with machines and industrial production, exploring the blurred line between the repetitive movements of working men and the machines they tended. These visionary works, in a Post-Cubist style, are Carr`s lasting legacy and convey his idiosyncratic view of mid-20th Century Britain. In 1968, the Bertha Shayer Gallery in New York staged an exhibition of his paintings but it was not until 1987 though, nineteen years after Carr`s premature death from cancer, that he came to real prominence in London. This was when the Mayor Gallery held a retrospective of the work of the man that Bryan Robertson called “of special importance to British Art of this period”. A further retrospective exhibition was held in London in 1997 at the Austin Desmond Gallery.David Carr (1915-1968) MACHINE MAN Oil on canvas laid down on board 81 x 61cm
