Artist's Statement“Clare Crouchman is a Cambridge artist who creates mixed media paintings and fine art prints. She has an MA in both Ceramics and Fine Art Printmaking. This new body of work builds upon these skills by exploring new and exciting mediums, looking to find equivalents to the rich textural qualities found in these processes. Clare has always been inspired by the natural world. Being out in the landscape quietens the mind and accesses a contemplative part of the brain where patterns and rhythms begin to emerge. Fascination for the beauty of the landscape has deepened in this way and finding order in this natural chaos is explored through abstracted, non-linear patterns. These patterns echo the richness of the natural world. The paintings use mixed media including acrylics, textural mediums and drawing. Her prints combine the techniques of intaglio and relief printing and techniques such as carborundum and collagraph often layering several plates together. In 2021 Clare completed a commission of six large paintings for The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre. Clare has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad and has work included in private and corporate collections in the UK, Europe, America and Japan. In June this year Clare is exhibiting at the Orie Gallery in Japan with a new body of paintings. ”
