Catherine Clancy

Painting

Catherine’s work as a painter echoes her approach to sculpture; she builds, takes away and builds again. Working with palette knives and impasto, cloths are soaked with oil paint, and wiped onto canvases to create both a feeling of sweeping energy and the emergence of light. New work is focused on both light in the landscape and in abstract paintings exploring fragments of light, strongly influenced by Turner; the light calling the form into existence.

“Going silently around us in the undivided there testifies a binding brightness” (Celan)
