Wish I Was Here
Claire Cansick
£8,000
Description
A large triptych of me floating in the North Sea, something I do at least once a week, taking photos with a waterproof camera. I love to float on the waves after my swim letting the cold water swill me around, feeling its energy and power.
My photos often capture extraordinary distortions of which this painting is a celebration of. I wanted to convey the joy I feel while bobbing in the sea. Photos are used as an initial source and at a certain inexplicable moment I discard the photos and go with the paint upon the surface, letting it dictate the direction and colours of the painting.
Painted over three canvases which join to make the whole.
The painting was a finalist in the Jackson's Art Prize, 2024, and was exhibited at Bankside Gallery London July 2024.

About the artist
Claire Cansick
Norfolk, United KingdomClaire Cansick
Norfolk, United KingdomMy work embraces the shadow side of life, embodying themes of self, non self, and a deep concern for the state of the natural world. I predominantly use oil to interpret landscapes and seascapes with a tight four colour palette, which shifts slowly over time.
