Claerwen James
19 Mar-18 Apr 2015
Flowers, Cork Street
London W1S 3LZ
Claerwen James is known for her painted portraits of young female subjects, which explore the private moments captured by photographic snapshots. By painting directly from photographs, James keeps a deliberate distance between herself and the sitter, in order to observe more closely what may be simultaneously revealed and withheld within the frozen moment in time.
