Hovering between abstraction and figuration, Clare Woods’ visceral paintings are characterised by fluid mark-making and vibrant colours. Originally trained as a sculptor, much of Woods’ work is occupied with exploring physical form in two-dimensional space. Fusing diverse influences from Paul Nash and Barbara Hepworth to Marlene Dumas and Wolfgang Tillmans, Woods destabilises traditional art historical genres including landscape, portraiture, and still life. Themes such as beauty, mortality, and loss underpin her practice.
For Last Time (2025), Woods hand-painted vibrant hues of oranges, pinks and greens onto the petals and leaves of the floral composition, rendering each edition as subtly unique.
Clare Woods was born in Southampton, UK in 1972 and she lives and works in Hereford. Woods was elected a Royal Academician in 2022.
