In Radiance, Clare Brodie explores the theme of connection through rhythmic geometric and lyrical landscape renderings. Soft light bathes each composition and envelopes the viewer in a warm glow while floating translucent circles invite close observation and reflection of the relationship
between shapes and contours.

Building on ideas from earlier series like Pathways (2016) and The Brightest of Days (2019), where roads served as metaphors for journeys, Radiance leans into the grouping and clustering of trees to symbolically explore the complexity of relationships. Whilst the silhouettes are familiar, form is represented by simple flat blocks of delineated colour that disrupt
traditional notions of depth and space. With just one visible tree trunk in many works, and ovoid forms that populate the mid-ground, Brodie sparks curiosity and introspection in these pared down evocations of landscape.

Lilac skies above golden pastures mystify the eye. Seasons overlap as radiant warmth permeates the hills, while hazy winter colours hang in the sky. A soft ambient luminance infuses the landscape, even spaces in the direct ray of the sun are rendered in diffused tones. Her scenes are unified and gentle, providing a sense they are inspired by, yet separate from, landscapes
of this earth.
