Claerwen James
Charming exhibition at Flowers Gallery of new work by Claerwen James. These were delightful full length portraits of children against striking blue backgrounds. As a number are in ballet clothes you can’t help but have Degas thoughts however these children look out and engage with you. As they are based on photographs they place you in the position of the photographer. They capture a moment in time, not just in the photographic sense, but also with the idea that these children will continue to grow and change even before the picture is finished.
