Clare Thackway: Silk paintings
Civic Art Bureau is pleased to release five silk paintings by Clare Thackway.
“There is great fragility in these paintings, in which bruised oils are washed like watercolours and diaphanous silks carry entangled silhouettes in fluid magentas and blues. The hands evoke what Rachel Cusk calls ‘all that love and terror and strangeness’ and Louise Bourgeois’ ‘Hands’ (2002-2003), in which she rendered the psychological complexity of motherhood – her great, ambivalent subject – in red crayon traces.” Lauren Carroll Harris, 2024.
Clare Thackway was selected as a finalist in this year’s Archibald Prize. Born in Canberra, Thackway completed Bachelor of Visual Arts, Painting at ANU in 2004. She currently lives and works in Paris, France.
$1800 each. For sales contact Adam Bell info@civicartbureau.com
