Claire Kerr : New Paintings

5 May-3 Jun 2017

Overview

Claire Kerr's works are born from a strong sense of contemporary realism, and their content seems to rise from the wooden boards (or panels) they are painted on. With a deep acknowledgment to art history and vernacular imagery her work also shows (or reveals) a strong observation of the everyday. Her treatment of her subjects is extraordinary. The paintings are miniature in scale and deliberately photographic in technique. Nevertheless, the painted surface is only the beginning of each painting's conceptual investigation of its subject-matter and each work transcends its surface to become something much greater than the sum of its parts.
