I have grown up with a view of Clare Granger sketching intently on family holidays and am so lucky to have some of my youthful memories immortalised on our walls at home in Yorkshire today. It is a joy to see how Clare’s style has evolved as her geographic footprint has ventured further afield. ‘I have travelled through India, Myanmar and parts of South America. Throughout my journeys, draw and paint, I photograph and collect avidly, creating sketchbooks which record the many facets of the countries visited,’ Clare explains. ‘These books are then used to inform my work back in the studio at home –it gives me intense pleasure to be able to rekindle the emotions and sensations of these journeys.’ Indeed, as Clare embarks on her 3rd solo show at Cricket – and her 7th independent show overall – those feelings are clear to see; expressed through the distinctive colour palette, silhouettes and subjects representative of specific travel memories. Whether through a wise, wrinkled elephant or two wayward goats, Clare seeks to ‘create an image which both alludes to a personal experience but that also, at some level, finds a resonance with the experience or imagination of the onlooker.’ Something she has achieved with aplomb in this transportive new show. It was while at Cambridge University, studying law, that Clare began selling drawings to passers by – and what was then just a student hobby has taken Clare all around the world, from studying portraiture at Charles H. Cecil Studios to capturing the long-tail boats at Inle Lake in Myanmar. This exhibition represents Clare’s latest body of work.
