Claire Gilliam
A Memory Of What Was Said

2021

About the Item

This unique work of ink on paper is framed in a black frame with Anti Reflective glass. It is currently on exhibition at the Hearst foundation building in Manhattan as part of the Art Now annual art selection of current year meaningful artists. The work features Alphabets pattern, interlaced on the paper with varying degree of intensity, creating a movement of appearance and disapperance. About the Series: “Sensitive Material” In this Work on Paper Series, started in 2020, Claire Gilliam continues her exploration of Visual Language. She uses a common motif, the Latin Alphabet, in an increasingly abstract approach through repetition, distortion, and rendition. In this process, she starts by exploring the physical relationship through a simple, shared, universal habitual movement learnt from early age. The series quickly becomes a language to explore past conversations, situations, and memories. Eventually this journey leads the artist to connect to greater current societal issues of identity, communication, information, and the distortions she observes in the public use of language. About the Artist: Claire Gilliam is an English photographer, printmaker, painter now based from her home and studio in Warwick, NY. In 1997, she graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art and completed the Professional Certificate in Photography at Rockport College, Maine in 2000. She has studied with photographers such as Arno Minkkinen and John Goodman and master gelatin silver printer, Chuck Kelton and master printmaker, Vijay Kumar. She is an assistant for author and fine art photographer Barbara Mensch. Her works have been shown across Europe and the USA in several private and public collections, including The ICP Library Print Collection and the Goethe Institute. In 2014 and 2015, several of her works were included in a touring exhibition entitled “Embody: The Gender Issue” throughout several cities across India and Sri Lanka. In 2019, she exhibited her solo show Life Lines at Amity Gallery, NY and in 2021, she was the inaugural artist with her exhibition ALPHABET at 1053 Main Street Gallery in Fleischmanns, NY. This year, 2022, continuing her alphabet series, Claire’s new exhibition “Sensitive Material” is being shown at Galerie l’Atelier in Chelsea.
