Whitfield Fine Art is delighted to present an exhibition of twenty one new works by Claudia Carr.
Carr’s current work explores the territory between ‘still life’ and ‘landscape’, between the intimate and the epic. She paints from the landscape of debris and clutter, organic material and small plastic animals that accumulate in her studio. Because of the random juxtapositions of objects, specific lighting conditions, and the process of long slow looking, the perception of scale is skewed and the spaces become ambiguous, evoking prehistoric/post apocalyptic wildernesses, wastelands, secret gardens and savannahs.
A lot of the recent paintings explore the elasticity within grey; the activation of colours within a narrow chromatic range by means of their interaction. The atmosphere of the painting, and the journeys within it, are as dependent on this kind of optical tension (and other chromatic and rhythmic structures), as they are on the illusory quality of the image itself. Each painting is also the record of a dialogue with the volatile , fickle nature of visual ‘reality’; the perceptual contradictions that exist in any long stared at scene.
