Caragh Thuring has a unique painting language which is bold yet subtle. She paints fluidly and intuitively, without making preparatory sketches, building and arranging her imagery into dynamic compositions. Thuring paints on bare linen or bespoke woven cloth, made from digital renderings of her own paintings and photographs. Volcanoes, nuclear submarines, tartan, and brick reoccur in her work and emphasize the clash of the natural and the manufactured. In her series of window paintings, or “lateral portraits” as the artist refers to them, window ledge displays reveal the self-fashioning of the buildings’ unseen occupants.
