RHODES is thrilled that Morag Caister will have three brand-new works featured in a new exhibition at Noho Studios, The Social Animal. All three are available to buy through RHODES.
Caister understands her practice as a search for something true. This truth is not presented as fixed or easily articulated; rather, it emerges through engagement with aspects of the self that are uncertain, fragmented, or unresolved.
Her work functions as a space in which less coherent parts of her identity can be met rather than resolved. In this sense, Caister’s paintings resist the idea of the artist as either “beast” or “god” – neither cut off from society nor transcendent of it. Instead, her practice reflects a deeply human condition: the ongoing negotiation between inner complexity and shared meaning.
By attending to what is unclear or contradictory within herself, Caister opens a broader consideration of what we are like as people. Her work rests on the willingness to sit with ambiguity and a desire to experience the porous boundary between the self and the world.
Caister has held multiple previous exhibitions at RHODES, as well as a successful presentation of monoprints at Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair on the RHODES Editions booth.
The Social Animal is at Noho Studios 31st March – 12th April. Email us for more information.
