NEWS 11:00 Monday 8 March 2010 Claire has the 2 paintings above in permanent public exhibition at Frimley Park Hospital. The painting on the left, 'Protozoa Spiral', depicts fictional protozoa inspired by the research by Ernst Haeckel set into a spiral with a microscopic image of a Scabious stamen super-imposed ontop. Claire, a keen gardener has been researching the microscopic imagery of plants for over a year. The painting is easily recognisable as organic, but not easily identifiable therefore indicating that nature is multilayered, complex and very ordered within geometric shapes. The painting on the right., 'Gastropoda Helix Aspersa' is a tesselation of passionflowers and geometric ten sided shapes based up on the passionflower within a spiral that has been transformed into a snail shell. The tesselation of flowers and geometry is to show the form and order within nature, particularly flowers that at a glance appear chaotic and disordered. The shell interacting with the tesselation is to show the relationships within nature including those which are also following a geometric order. Another viewpoint of this piece is Claire's frustration that the snails were eating her passionflower seedlings at the time of creating the piece!! Both works are oil on board and took a year to complete with the complex layering of colour and detail. OLD NEWS... To read old news click here. |
