SUMMARY:Lady Lever Art Gallery: Dawn to Dusk: Birds by Jim Moir
DESCRIPTION:Jim Moir is known for his characterful paintings of British bir
 ds\, around 40 of which feature in this new exhibition\, including some th
 at have been created exclusively for display at the Lady Lever Art Gallery
 .\nMany visitors will be familiar with Moir’s work following the success
 ful Sky Arts series\, Painting Birds with Jim and Nancy Moir. This is the 
 first time that the artist’s paintings have been displayed in a national
  gallery\, with most works available for purchase.\nAlthough he is known t
 o many for his earlier comedic work under the stage name of Vic Reeves\, a
 rt came first for Moir. "All I ever did as a child was paint"\, he has cla
 imed\, having produced art throughout his life.\nBorn in Leeds in 1959\, M
 oir grew up in Darlington. The natural world was his playground as a child
 . He and his friends would search for birds and their nests in hedgerows. 
 After his father gifted him a set of very heavy binoculars from the Second
  World War he became more interested in watching the birds from afar.\nBot
 h of his parents were artistic - his mother a painter\, his father a woodt
 urner. His childhood was steeped in the art world\, regularly attending cr
 aft fairs and galleries with his parents. He achieved his first taste of s
 uccess at the age of ten\, winning a competition on a cornflakes box by pa
 inting a combine harvester. He would go on to study at the Sir John Cass A
 rt School in London.\n'Dawn to Dusk: Birds by Jim Moir celebrates the arti
 st's love of both birds and painting - a passion which is visible in every
  brushstroke\, along with his knowledge of each species. He studies each b
 ird before painting it\, allowing him to capture their personality and qui
 rks with his own unique blend of precision and wonder.\nFrom garden birds 
 to sea birds\, the exhibition celebrates the magic and majesty of many of 
 the UK’s most loved feathered friends\, inviting us to appreciate their 
 brilliance and importance through the beauty of paint.
