Claire Harkess | Seasons Song
7 March 2024 – 6 April 2024
As we gently segway into spring, we present Claire Harkess’s poetically titled Seasons Song. Harkess continues to capture fine detail from the natural world, encapsulating the flora and fauna as the seasons change, her truthful and poignant observation an exposition of the extraordinary nature of the ordinary.
Harkess studies the natural world continuously with a keen and curious eye. Woodland birds, seabirds and birds of prey are represented in delicate watercolour and her virtuoso technique, drawing on Eastern and Western painting traditions, captures the magic of a bird in flight. Every brush stroke is loaded with movement, colour, light and emotion.
