Jim Moir (aka Vic Reeves) Bird Artist, August DTBC

Dawn to Dusk .  Jim Moir  is Vic Reeves

Art has always remained his first love and his original, eccentric and mischievous artwork has been exhibited at institutions including the Royal Academy in London.

The anarchy and wonderful eccentricity for which he is synonymous is evident in his bold, vibrant and often surreal artworks which merge his interest in the natural world and his witty imagination.

‘Moir is a compulsive artist, recording his thoughts and observations with abandon. The imagined and experienced worlds are chronicled in a prolific outpouring of ideas and thoughts beyond everyday life.’

We are visiting  early August DTBC with Lady Lever Gallery, Port Sunlight.
