Claire’s work has strong links with the ideas of Clement Greenberg,
the philosophy of abstract expressionism being fundamental
to her ideology.
An unusual approach among young British artists today.
The luminous colours and mysterious rectangles
create an aura of presence, deliberately still and quiet,
a meditative play with space, tone, intensity and subtle hues.
The paint is painstakingly applied to the canvas,
taking many weeks to produce as multiple layers
of colour move towards a finished form.
‘What one actually sees is full of spontaneity
and developing movement that is almost musical
and which also conveys a sense
of the spaciousness of landscape.
Her latest work in particular seems to float free of the canvas.
This is Art on which the eye dwells on long and lingeringly
but which also gives food for thought.’
