About the Artist
Artist Claire Primrose is a Mixed Media artist, who finds inspiration in the direct linking of immediate locations with her techniques of making a painting; transporting a real environment into the making of an artistic space evocative of its original and her own identities.
My practice recreates surfaces, textures and colours evocative of particular places; each work attempts to re-collect layers of the ‘place’ at once of and from memory melded with specific gatherings, a culmination of many different images, spaces, experiences, and materiel.
I am interested in recreating the surfaces, textures and colours evocative of a particular place, although each work is a culmination of many different images, spaces and experiences, achieved through memory and experimentation.
Claire Primrose is an Award Winning artist with selection as a finalist in multiple art prizes, including but not limited to The Paddington Art Prize and The Fleurieu Biennnale.
