Clare Goodwin

Clare Goodwin is a renowned artist exploring 'Constructive Nostalgia.' She earned an MA in painting from the Royal College of Art, London in 1998 and has lived in Zurich since 2001. Goodwin's work, distinct from Zurich's 'Concrete Art' movement, blends narrative, nostalgia, and geometric, minimal abstraction across the mediums of painting, ceramics, and spatial environments. Goodwin’s art explores personal and collective memories, social histories, and gender stereotypes. Goodwin's work has been exhibited widely and has received awards in Switzerland and abroad. She is represented by Lullin+Ferrari gallery and co-founded StudioK3 project space in Zurich.

Clare Goodwin will develop a project combining collage, drawing, painting and writing. By deconstructing and reinterpreting images from vintage interior design materials (1960s-1990s), she will explore societal norms and domestic aesthetics of those eras. Using digital and analog collage techniques, she will create standalone works and content for an artist book. This project reflects her ongoing focus on spatial furniture assemblages and painting, integrating social and personal histories.
