DANNY MARKEY (1965-) 

Danny Markey b.1965 Born in Falmouth, Cornwall, 1965, Markey studied at Falmouth School of Art and at Camberwell School of Art, London. Since 1992 he has had regular solo exhibitions at the Redfern Gallery, London. Group shows include John Moores Liverpool Exhibition (2012), Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize (and Discerning Eye (regularly from 2000 onwards, when his work was first selected by Michael Parkinson).

Most recently, Markey appeared in Towards Night, a large-scale survey show at Towner Art Gallery, Eastbourne, in 2016. This coincided with a retrospective of night paintings and works on paper, at the Redfern, described in The Financial Times by Jackie Wullschlager as “nocturnes that are both dystopian mysteries and particular, evocative descriptions of time and milieus”.
