Caroline Lingwood, Exhibiting Artist

Caroline Lingwood

Caroline will be exhibiting two mixed media sculptures during Nature Morte 'The Fragile Reality of Being IV' and 'A Breath Away from Withering'

“Caroline Lingwood is a multi disciplinary artist specialising in painting and mixed media sculpture, graduating from Goldsmiths, University of London with a BA Hons Degree in Fine Art Textiles.

Her work is informed by an interest in ideas of memory, fragility, transience and the vestige of existence. Influenced by 18th Century Dutch Landscape and still life painting and the idea of Nature Morte, capturing and preserving the ephemeral in its various stages of growth, bloom and decay, the perception of beauty deepening and strengthening as time passes with the realisation of human mortality, its transient, vulnerable and fragile nature.” Caroline Lingwood, 2018.

 Lingwood’s work has a sensitive quality, using muted colours allows us to concentrate on the intricate form of the sculpture. This juxtaposes the boldness of Dutch Still Life, the subtler approach allows for reflection on themes discussed.
