Artists in conversation

Gerhard Richter
German · b. 1932

Richter creates large format, contemplative works that oscillate between monochrome and colour, often engaging with landscape and the tension between representation and abstraction. His screenprints and photo-based works share Dean's interest in visual language that meditates on time, memory, and the nature of the image itself.

Wolfgang Tillmans
German · b. 1968

Tillmans works across photography and printmaking with a similarly contemplative and conceptually rigorous approach, producing large format works in dark, moody tones that investigate light, landscape, and the material qualities of image making. His Blue Chip status and major institutional presence mirror Dean's position in contemporary British and international art.
Cornelia Parker
British · b. 1956
Parker is a British female artist working with conceptual frameworks that explore transience, obsolescence, and transformation, producing large scale unique works that carry a dark, meditative visual language. Her printmaking and drawing practice engages similar themes of time and material precarity that define Dean's screenprint and landscape based output.
