Painting, Installation, Photography/video and Performance are a few of the disciplines and mediums in which Claridge works freely in interpretation and experimentation. His biggest inspiration is travel and the poetics of everyday life. Claridge’s primary ambition is to create art that evokes a perceptive change in the way people view art; seeking to change their mind on a piece of work. He aims to create an insight into ‘the everyday’ by presenting a blurring between reality and obscurity of mundane events, to capture moments of raw life as they occur and alter its narrative.
The Poetics of The Everyday - 'Poetics of The Everyday' explores the mundane banality of everyday life. The hybrid work contrasts this ideal with a bright, explosive use of colour. By obscuring aspects of the photograph, we, the viewer, are consciously forced to complete the narrative. The work aims to provoke the audience with both frustration and intrigue whilst being faced with an aesthetically pleasing image.
