Fresh from Fresh, recent British Ceramic Biennial Fresh exhibitor and one of winners of the 2023 Grymsdyke Farm residency, Caroline Gray has created a personal response to Paul Nash's painting, Hyde Park Landscape, Winter.

Informed by her background in design and fine art, Caroline’s sculptural abstract works, celebrate, colour, and form, creating an interplay between the pieces themselves, and the interiors and spaces they are placed in.

Paul Nash painted Hyde Park Landscape Winter in 1940 and used pencil, watercolour and chalk to capture this distinctive beautiful hazy winter light and Caroline has captured this soft chalky beauty and brought it to life in her installation where the tones interact exquisitely with abstract forms that give a subtle nod to the landscape and the painting that inspired her.

Nash depicted death and life through nature and had such a poetic understanding of decay and regeneration and the cyclic depiction of life and death that Winter represents.
