Emergence

Creator: Constance Regardsoe
Offered by: Spanierman Modern

Description
Constance Regardsoe is an emerging artist, born in Preston, Lancashire, in the North of England. She has always been passionate about making art, but as the first person in her family to attend university, she was encouraged to pursue a more traditional profession. After earning her English degree she moved to London and began a career in education, but soon realised the persistence and power of her passion for painting. She soon switched to teaching part time, which enabled her to devote more time to making her art. in 2020 she was selected for several major exhibitions, won the prestigious Bath Society of Arts Grand Prize and Young Artist Prize (the first time in the competitions 115 year history that a recipient has won both awards. She has since switched to focusing on her painting full time.
Constance chooses to depict bodies of water which present an opportunity to capture the many abstractions created by movement, and light refraction. In a much more meaningful way they remind us that time is fleeting and the world is ever changing. The beauty of this moment will soon be gone, and we are well advised to appreciate the present moment. The intricacy of the patterns of light and water in her paintings speak of transience; a split second sooner or later and the image is radically different.
Water has a dual nature, both calming and life giving, whilst simultaneously unknowable and threatening. Constance Regardsoe seeks to explore this duality in her body of work; some of her pieces imbue the viewer with a sense of tranquility and calm, with others, largely the pieces of figures breaking the waters surface, in the split second of emergence, offer something more urgent, the deep primal need to rise and draw breath.
