Clare Woods’ paintings express her fascination with landscape and our emotional relationship to it. This disturbing painting was inspired by a First World War photograph of the Passchendaele battlefield and the artist Paul Nash’s description of it. The battlefield is infamous for the number of casualties and the mud which drowned soldiers and horses.
Clare Woods graduated from Goldsmith’s College in 1999. She has exhibited in the UK, Europe and America and completed a major commission for the London 2012 Olympic Park. Her work is held in several public collections.
