Claire Luxton
Claire Luxton is a UK based multi-disciplinary artist working with photography, painting, poetry and installation. After receiving an BFA from Goldsmiths University of London, Luxton created a challenging series of self portraits, pushing her emotional and physical boundaries by becoming both the subject matter and the materiality. The ominous undercurrents of her work oscillates between constructed femininity and alluring vulnerability, seducing the viewer with intrigue and uncertainty. Luxton’s work draws on both the modern anxiety of society and the environment; each portrait, painting and accompanying poetry, becoming an exploration of isolation, desire and uncertainty.
In 2015 Luxton’s exploration of human fragility, physicality and the female form culminated in her first solo exhibition Avalon. This was followed by her second solo exhibition BOTANICA in 2017. The artist’s work has been shown in London, Miami and Singapore, including exhibits at The London Art Fair and Art Basel.
Luxton has collaborated with brands from Adobe to McQueens and created bespoke artworks for clients such as The Birmingham Royal Ballet and JP Morgan. Luxton's work has also been in both Glamour Italia and Germany and has claireluxtonstudio.com on the cover of Blogosphere Magazine.
