The organiser says:
"All my work is essentially rooted in the human experience of reconciling ourselves to a surrendering of control. In allowing the medium of print or paint more freedom to react and compose organically, I wish to encourage the viewer to recognize the beauty and meaning that can be born out of letting go".
Rose-Marie Caldecott graduated from Falmouth College of Art this year with a First Class Degree in Fine Art. She is a recent Saatchi Sensation Nominee and this is her first one man exhibition at Art Jericho from 1 - 31 August.
Rose-Marie's work appears to hang in the ether. Her preoccupation is that space between what is designed and orchestrated viz-a-viz nature unfettered. Her compositions are a magical blend of the two, which although polarised, marry together to create a sense of 'other worldliness'.
Whilst contemplating the metaphysics of reality, Caldecott has also been exploring the process of letting go, observing the occurrence of fractals in nature - those self similar patterns that reoccur whether in the formation of clouds, trees and plants, crystals or shells. On canvas, that has translated to the artist allowing the paint to find its place on the page, and composing that natural occurence together with fine draftmanship.
The motifs she uses to infer man's interference with nature, range from paths through the woods, to the neo-romantic folly above that was so very characteristic of 18th Century landscaped gardens. In her prints, she has included greenhouses as an expression of our attempts to capture an idealised form of nature.
