Cadogan Gallery presents Deborah Tarr meditative solo exhibition
Rare Earth by Deborah Tarr explores the power of nature through refined abstraction
Cadogan Gallery presents Rare Earth, a bold new solo exhibition by British painter Deborah Tarr. Known for her emotionally resonant abstraction, Tarr explores the raw power and poetic mystery of nature through refined visual language. In this latest body of work, she deepens her exploration of geological and cosmic forces, rendering elemental landscapes in compositions that feel both grounded and transcendent. With a masterful balance of texture, tone, and line, her paintings channel the quiet strength of ancient terrain and shifting skies.
Deborah Tarr’s paintings are not conventional landscapes but inner topographies—visual meditations shaped by memory, emotion, and atmosphere. Drawing from her experiences across the British countryside and the vast wilderness of American terrain, particularly in California and Arizona, her canvases evoke the physical weight and emotional pull of place without depicting specific locations.
Instead, they suggest a sense of presence that is both intimate and universal, elemental and deeply personal. With restrained yet powerful brushwork, each composition invites a contemplative stillness, echoing the quiet rhythm of nature and the introspective layers of the human psyche.
