Cristea Roberts Gallery is delighted to launch a new edition by Clare Woods (b. 1972), which precedes the artist’s forthcoming solo exhibition at the Pitzhanger Manor and Gallery in London.
The Inside Garden, 2025, is a new screenprint in an edition of thirty that continues the artist’s use of flowers as amemento mori, depicting their final moments of beauty before their inevitable demise, contrasting ideas of vitality and decay.

The Inside Garden, 2025
Screenprint on Somerset Satin 410gsm paper Paper and Image: 90.5 x 135.0 cm – 35 5/8 x 53 1/8 in Edition of 30
Woods’ approach to printmaking is striking for its painterly effect, as the artist jostles between legibility and representation, simultaneously deconstructing and reconstructing her subject. Through her expressive style, Woods emphasises the formal elements of the composition, drawing the viewer’s attention to colour, line, and shape. Throughout her oeuvre, Woods disrupts the historical genre of still life by obscuring, cropping, and repositioning her subject’s form, reminding the viewer that not everything is as it seems.
Woods is preoccupied with depicting polarities, mundanity and beauty, familiarity and discomfort, life and our mortality.
In July 2026 Clare Woods will open a major solo exhibition, Garden Without Seasons, at the Pitzhanger Manor and Gallery, London, where she will take the tropical greenhouse and its flora as her central motif.

“These objects capture familiar moments, representative of a typically safe place. However, these same moments can be altered by events outside that are unfamiliar and dangerous. The detail in the everyday becomes heightened with discomfort; this allows for new ways of seeing the ordinary.”
