Clare French Email & Phone Number | Clare’s reductive, monochrome practice considers the constructed, protean nature of human systems of meaning. This takes place primarily through her investigation into the constitution of painting; physically, materially and art-historically, which aims to complicate modes of making and assumed conceptual certainties. Clare’s practice is based in process, repetition and the use of artisanal materials, which she uses as meaningful in themselves. She relies on the treatment of surfaces in order to index her own decisions and actions, and to expose broader hierarchies and incongruities of labour, making and materials. The transformation of materials, over time and by hand also generates the unexpected within her practice. Clare works episodically in order to democratise and multiply meaning, and to encourage a multifaceted engagement with individual paintings, their relationships to each other and their environment. Situated within Modernism and Post-Minimalism, Clare develops her work according to arbitrary rules or patterns that remain flexible while operating an internal logic. Her reference to the Modernist grid operates not as an end in itself, but as a reductive framework for nuance and depth. Clare’s paintings operate as poetic objects that elicit a slow, engaged looking and affective response in the viewer. Her insistence on minimal, reductive systems intensifies attention on subtle changes and shifts within her surfaces, communicating the impossibility of the perfect, the finite, the absolute. Clare was born in Melbourne, Australia and lives and works in London, UK.
