Delete Fails WP:ARTIST and WP:NOTADVERTISING Louise Bradley Design is not known as a significant art collection. None of her solo exhibitions (per her resume, here)have been in galleries of any importance. Part of the text is directly sourced from her own gallery; "At present day within her highly developed visual language, Tarr explores the limits of her canvas; each painting is an authentic world of its own. Her creations are tangible and conceptual, borne of relationships between colour and texture" is not a critical assessment by an independent source but close paraphrasing of a promotional piece on her gallery's website "Within her highly developed visual language, Tarr explores the limits of her canvas; each painting is an authentic world of its own. Her creations are tangible and conceptual, borne of relationships between colour and texture." That same site gives two press mentions; House & Garden (magazine) and Country and Townhouse magazine, which lists as one of its "Secret Suppliers" Cardogan Contemporary, and says "The represent Deborah Tarr whose expressive abstract paintings I use." House & Garden only has "The large painting by Deborah Tarr set the tone for the decoration in the sitting room". Then there is she-files, that only offers half a sentence: "Soho House’s main collection is predominantly black and white, so color in these new acquisitions stands out including the vermillion in Phyllida Barlow’s “Crush” and the cobalt and cerulean in Deborah Tarr’s “Big Sur." That is all the sourcing that is available, and it's not remotely independent or reliable. This is an ad, not an encyclopedic article about a notable subject supported by in-depth coverage.
