Caragh Thuring RA Elect (b. 1972)

  • Caragh Thuring RA Elect (b. 1972)

Caragh Thuring works with painting, drawing, weaving and photography. She builds and arranges layered imagery in opposition to traditional visual and logical hierarchies. Thuring paints the overlooked and the out of sight, curious to what lies beneath the surface. Filtering landscape, people, places, boundaries and territories, she interweaves the technological and human. Volcanoes, submarines and bricks appear viscerally or bodily whilst emphasising the clash between the natural and the manufactured.

Great Things Lie Ahead, 2020, is an artwork embedded throughout Holborn House Community Centre in Thuring’s recent collaboration with 6a architects.

Caragh Thuring was born in Brussels, Belgium in 1972 and lives and works in London and Argyll. Thuring studied BA Hons in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University 1991-1995 and is currently a Trustee at Nottingham Contemporary.
