Many visitors will be familiar with Moir’s work following the successful Sky Arts series, Painting Birds with Jim and Nancy Moir. This will be the first time that the artist’s paintings have been displayed in a national gallery, with most works available for purchase. The exhibition includes paintings that have been created exclusively for display at the Lady Lever Art Gallery.

Although he is known to many for his earlier comedic work under the stage name of Vic Reeves, art came first for Moir. "All I ever did as a child was paint", he has claimed, having produced art throughout his life.

'Dawn to Dusk: Birds by Jim Moir celebrates the artist'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 bird before painting it, allowing him to capture their personality and quirks with his own unique blend of precision and wonder.

From 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.
