Claire Gilliam

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 exhibition “Life Lines” at Amity Gallery.

Spanning minimalist steel sculpture, Neo Geo abstraction, evocative landscapes, experimental still life, and digitally manipulated photographic works on industrial materials, Mélange sets each style in sharp relief. Rather than blending, the exhibition invites viewers to engage with the tension, humor, and dialogue that arise when divergent artistic languages collide.
