REVIEW OF CAROLINE’S “NEIGHBOURHOODS & VILLAGES”:

LATITUDES: Inverness Museum & Art Gallery

GEORGINA COBURN hails an exhibition that forges beyond stereotyped expectations...

Caroline Hewat’s series of “Neighbourhoods and Villages” (Monoprint and graphite) are part of a large body of work following a journey to New York in 2006. The intensity of these works in black and white capture the essential energy of the city perfectly. Composite forms through buildings, scaffolding and lines of life force, often seen from above seem to move and shift endlessly.

The range of mark in this series of monoprints is a great strength, giving a delicacy and vulnerability to images devoid of human subjects. Getting under the skin of this urban environment through intensive study of drawings and photographs made during the trip is as much a visualisation of creative process as it is a series of complete images.

Layering and “visually repeating her understanding of individual images” allows the artist to convey not only the heart of her subject matter but the investigative scope and integrity of her practice.
