Caroline Gorick

Caroline Gorick was born in Manchester in 1981 and currently lives and works in London. In 2004 she received a BA (Hons) Fine Art and Visual Culture from The University of The West of England, Bristol, before graduating from the Royal Academy of Art, London in 2008. Her works are collected by the Mizuho bank collection and Ronnie Wood among others.


Gorick's paintings explore human anxieties and fears about death and the unknown and the mechanisms we form to gloss over these concerns.

These investigations take shape in the form of oil paintings of objects within modern shopping centers, casinos and hotels. These elaborate man made spaces are designed to visually intoxicate, offering a whole new world, detached from the outside. The paintings depict transparent, often ultra shiny surfaces of unusual shaped objects that create further distance from the
outside world.
