Clare Woods - BETWEEN BEFORE AND AFTER

British artist Clare Woods (b. 1972) works by painting with bold strokes, utilising intuition. Wood’s style includes flamboyance and beauty, but also formless aesthetics: present is the delicate boundary between illness and health, cruelty and humanity, and ultimately life and death. In her most recent paintings, Woods has depicted the vulnerability and short-lived nature of life through flowers as well as shapes of the human body. The coronavirus pandemic, which shrank life to within the walls of the home, has also ended up in her works.
