Clare Woods
Overview
THE SMELL OF SUNDAY, 2023
Informed by her background in sculpture, Clare Woods’ oil paintings on aluminium depict still life scenes and other classical art subjects with a visceral and bodily quality. The three-dimensionality of her process allows Woods to contort foreground and background, creating a surreal effect. In broad, fluid brushstrokes, familiar scenes are portrayed as if without their outer shell, revealing the vulnerable, transient nature beneath the surface, evocative of human fragility.
