Cassie Clements

The 2010 Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition
August 17 - September 7, 2010 Reception: Thursday August 19, 2010 6-8 PM

Press Release

Cassie Clements work questions our relationship to the natural world and our perception of it. Her paintings, crafted with characteristic clarity, are a distinctive hybrid bridging the gap between landscape and still life by capturing natural perspectives and bringing them into indoor spaces. Dramatic foreshortening seizes our attention, channeling our eyes to explore seemingly disparate elements like books of art and world history lying agape amongst tapestries, dining ware, chairs and other studio items. Clements crafts her compositions to be “representative of both the tradition of still life and the essence of landscape.”

 


Artist Statement

Working from observation has always driven me to paint.  This process involves the artist’s perception of sight and the translation of what is seen through marks on the surface. Combined with these marks and objects are ideas that are changing around me, which create my work. Currently my work deals with the ways people perceive nature and bring it indoors. My choice of objects is representative of both the tradition of still life and the essence of landscape. While painting, I gradually begin to see what is actually in front of me, and translate that to an abstract mark on the surface, creating space, light, and color. Ultimately it is my goal for the viewer to understand these objects better because they are painted and that they may view them through the painters lens.
