Claire Davis-Barnett
Claire Barnett is a British artist noted particularly for her deeply personal interpretations of landscapes in and around her home in Dorset. She was born in Surrey and trained at Camberwell School of Art and The Art School, University of Brighton. Claire has exhibited widely, most notably at The Royal Academy. Her work is held in collections in London and New York. My painting moves beyond nature’s immediate appearance and evokes a state of mind: a sense of self in relation to place, its primordial history, and the wild, cyclical rhythms of the seasons and elements. Works consist of layers of paint, glue, inks and other materials, such as honeycomb and lace. I experiment to create tactile, undulating surfaces, which are visceral responses in which I aim to express the vitality of artist and subject.
