Cain Casson - BA (Hons) Fine Art
Cain Casson narrates the hidden absurdity of isolated rural landscapes by exploiting the confines of painting. Navigating raw, argumentative surfaces with salvaged brushes, emerging images pulse between feelings of banality and paranoia, forcibly entrapped within assemblages of found wood, broken furniture and rural detritus.
Casson’s work revisits the non-metropolitan idyll with wide, weary eyes; dredging its picture-postcard façade for a truthful vision of contemporary countryside life. The resultant works exist in a state of struggle, the composure of their visual influence at odds with a heavy-handed approach.
