British artist Vicken Parsons (b.1957) makes small, intimate paintings on wood panel using thin layers of oil paint. Her subjects are usually partial views of interior spaces or landscapes, some remembered and others imagined.
Her paintings are quiet and meditative in mood, but also richly evocative, drawing in the viewer hrough their expressive brushwork, instinctive interplay of colour and light, and unnerving tension between surface and depth. Parsons' work has beguiled and inspired writers from the fields of art, psychoanalysis, and literature to attempt to interpret it, to distill it, for more than twenty years. Their responses to her 'visual poems' are gathered here for the first time, in the artist's only retrospective monograph.
All of her most celebrated paintings are reproduced, alongside some of her drawings, until now never shown, and sculptural works - or 'painted objects' as she calls them - that see the artist extend her pictorial investigation of space, eflection and illusion into three-dimensional form. Studio photographs show some of the work in progress.
Clare Woods RA (b.1972) is one of the most sought-after painters working in Britain today. Her highly colouristic paintings hover between abstraction and representation, expressing both a poetic romanticism and an unnerving psychic charge. Her distinctive style is informed by her background in sculpture. She uses large, bold and gestural brushstrokes of thick, fluid paint to make still life and figurative paintings that are usually based on photographs of real objects and people, but enlarged, cropped, and distorted almost to the point of illegibility.
This book includes all the artist's most important paintings of the past decade, as well as the many prints and collages that have grown out of her painting practice in recent years. Critic and art historian Charlotte Mullins writes a lively and accessible introduction to the artist's work, while psychoanalyst Darian Leader considers the psychological charge of its defamiliarising and estranging effects. Commentaries from Woods herself throughout provide the artist's own insights into the meaning of individual works.
