Press Release
edit

Stephen Friedman Gallery, New York presents 'A Kinder Time', an exhibition of new paintings by British artist Clare Woods. This marks her first solo show with the gallery.

In this exhibition, Woods deploys still life to meditate on the fragile threshold between life and death. As Charlotte Mullins (art critic, writer and broadcaster) writes in As I Please, a major monograph recently published on the artist’s work, “while still life has historically been belittled by academic institutions for depicting inanimate objects, it is this reduction in form, this stripping out of narrative, that makes the genre the perfect vehicle through which to communicate what it means to be alive, to be human, to be afraid, to be present, to face death”. Each work in the show captures a static image, or “a life stilled” as Mullins puts it, and forces the viewer to stop, observe and look anew at seemingly banal objects or scenes.
