Claire Whitehurst Art

American, b. 1991
Claire Whitehurst’s work is at once startlingly lush and shyly particular, like iridescent fishing wire tangled in long grass along the riverbed or water bugs running along the surface of a marsh. Candy colored cellular forms become pond ripples or tree rings - memory recorded or imagined as the coincidence of the natural world and raw emotion. The forms that populate Claire’s paintings vibrate between growth and decay, are shot through with a distinctly queer sensibility that combines the biological and the sensual. Even in work with more muted tones or staid line forms, these paintings are irradiated with a kind of constant becoming, and open up space for a new kind of sense-making. They’re materialist works, in that they insist on the materiality of emotion and its inseparability from the world; here is a body tangled in candy floss or Christmas lights; here are two fingerprints, or two lovers, being pulled both together and apart. Born in 1991 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Claire Whitehurst is a painter, printmaker and ceramicist based in Jackson, Mississippi. Claire received her BFA from the University of Mississippi in 2015, her Post Baccalaureate from Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and her MFA in Painting and Printmaking from the University of Iowa in 2020. In 2018, she was the recipient of the Stanley Fellowship for International Research where she studied polychromatic cave paintings and engravings in southern France. She draws heavily from the landscape and atmosphere of the South, exploring queer narrative, memory, time, and identity through color, form, surface and space. Her work plays with the boundaries of emotional reaction through formal qualities as well as through the examination of relationships between image and object.

Prize Blade 1, abstract male nude, expressionist brushwork, dark, monochromatic
By Tom Bennett
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Monotype Dramatic imagery from Tom Bennett’s series of monotypes, blending surrealistic mindscapes with stark realism About Tom Bennett: With quick brushstrokes, Tom Bennett creates representational images of human figures and animals, emphasizing movement in a manner reminiscent of Lucien Freud, Edgar Degas and the photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Elongated and blurry, the horse racing up a hill (Canter Fritz, 2002) and the sinister cat landing a leap (Chien Blanc, 1998) elicit a sense of foreboding enhanced by Bennett’s somber palette; his female figures too reflect a grim sense of humor with their distorted nude bodies. The face of Untitled Figure (1997), for example, is obscured by layers of dark paint. Classically trained as a painter, he initially worked in oil on canvas but discovered that monotype printing enabled him to “literally push the image around,” creating an essential element of motion. To overcome the limited scale of monotypes, however, he switched to painting on slick-surfaced plastic. Tom Bennett’s practice is rooted in the classical tradition where painting and drawing from life is highly regarded. Bennett’s work is heavily influenced by Francis Bacon, Frank Auberbauch and foremost his father, Harry Bennett, who was also an artist. Tom’s time living abroad in Spain and traveling through Eastern Europe and Africa provided the artistic freedom to explore many of the techniques and subject matter that continue to define his practice. Bennett was born and raised in Connecticut. His mediums include monotypes, oil on paper, canvas or styrene board. In a technique that Tom started over 4 years ago, several of his monotypes have been painted over with oil paint using a palette knife, brush, or his fingers to re-purpose the underlying image. These works are a testament to Bennett’s ability to quickly and concisely compose an image with expressive brush strokes, foreshortened figures and expertly rendered light. Tom’s work has been featured in group and solo exhibitions worldwide. Bennett lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He is currently represented by Tabla Rasa...
