Claire Shakespeare
Claire Shakespeare is an artist living and working in London. Their practice captures the everyday experience through an investigation of improvisation and chance within painting.
Shakespeare graduated from Fine Art Painting (BA Hons) at the University of Brighton in 2022, and has had two solo shows including Wobbly Knee with Devonshire Collective, Eastbourne in 2023 and Frontal Dancer at the Fitzrovia Gallery, London in 2022.
"Driven by impulse and material processes, works incorporate the act of painting as a means of searching for familiarity in the unknown. Through processes of scraping back a painterly excess and re-layering, previous unfinished works are resurrected allowing re-occurring motifs to unexpectedly align and reveal new paintings." - Claire Shakespeare

“Moving often between urban and rural settings, 'Backcountry' is a collection of works that connect these feelings of displacement and disconnect from home.” - Claire Shakespeare, Backcountry
