Join artist Clare Woods and DCA director Beth Bate for an introduction to, and discussion of, Woods’ new exhibition ahead of its official opening.
The exhibition – Clare Woods: Victim of Geography – is a solo show of raw and powerful new paintings.
Woods paints from found images, her selection of photographs featuring people at their most vulnerable; bodies that are exposed or in a remote landscape.
Through long, curved brush strokes, faces, limbs and outlines come to the fore and are distorted into apparitions. Each work features a single colour which is pulled apart across the painting, with the daintiest of light hues worked through to the darkest shades.
Strike, by Clare Woods.
Woods is a renowned painter who works in the Welsh borders.
The June 23 “meet the artist” session starts at 6.30pm and the exhibition opens on Saturday June 24 and runs until September 10.
