Clare Woods uses the genre of the still-life to deliver an ambiguous experience: her subjects entice with familiarity but subvert it aesthetically through the idiosyncratic method of pictorial conception and controlled gestural painting. Seemingly familiar things, such as a bouquet of flowers, take on a presence in Clare Woods’ work that is characterised more by a psychological and emotional state than by matters of taste.
