About

“Clare Grossman’s art focuses on the search for an essential energy, the ‘essence’ of a chosen subject.”
Clare-Grossman-artist-UK-London.jpg

Her approach to printmaking is personal with an emphasis on creating ‘variable editions’. Centring on a painterly approach to the print medium and utilizing many years of experience, her knowledge of etching & experimentation with monoprint techniques has evolved into original editioned prints where each individual print is a unique impression.

Frequently working with a combination of techniques, the final work is often constructed from layers of colour, mark-making & texture. Using experimental methods which aim to describe movement, the vitality of nature, and beautiful light, her work explores contrasts of solidity, the mysterious substance of shadows, reflections and the surveyance of rhythmical patterns across architectural forms. This vocabulary of visual elements is used with an emphasis on the rendering of the physical experience of a chosen subject.

Clare trained at Camberwell School of Art, attaining a Masters Degree in Fine Art Printmaking in the 1990s. Since then she has continued her practice from her own studio in North London and with various professional print studios. 

Her art has been commissioned by numerous corporate and commercial companies and she exhibits regularly with galleries across the UK and abroad.
