Clare Woods: Garden Without Seasons will feature 29 new and recent works — all created over the last four years — comprising paintings, collages, and prints that are infused with both her trademark wet-look oil paint as well as layers of contemplative meaning.

At the centre of the exhibition are the flora, still life and natural world that Woods returned to during the pandemic, at a time when familiar objects took on a heightened resonance.

By responding to photographs of flowers and everyday items, Woods has created a new visual world of nature that lies between abstraction and figuration — both familiar and ambiguous — where forms are ever-moving through a semblance of oil paint swirls.

Crucially, they act against the rapid flow of imagery that modern photography has enabled, allowing the viewer to consider scenes through a slower and more detailed approach.
