Solomon Fine Art is delighted to host an exhibition of new paintings by Wexford based artist Serena Caulfield. Describing her paintings as “mashup-allegories engendered with the frivolities and traumas of our time”, Caulfield’s sources range from classical artworks to children's drawing books, aural histories to local myths. Disobeying a linear art history while reclaiming it somehow in the present, she repurposes the power of historical art, both visually and conceptually, imbuing the anachronisms of the past with the attitudes of the present. 

 

“In this new work, Caulfield delivers a fresh, dynamic lexicon for contemporary painting that employs colour saturation to defamiliarize the landscape, nimble figuration and moments of luscious abstraction to create and recreate territories of myth, dream and imagination. We become the lost visitor following her path through the woods”. 

 Cherry Smyth, from her accompanying essay, Don’t Ignore your Longing for the Orange
