Carrie-Ann Stein | A Burst of Life Gave Them Life to Enhance Their Life
£1,000.00
Transfer Print And Paint On Wood Panel Edition of 5 Dimensions (WxH): 61 x 46cm
Carrie-Ann Stein is a London-based artist whose practice explores how images can be dismantled and reconstructed whilst retaining their emotional force. Drawing on historical paintings, she digitally repaints selected gestures before printing, cutting, reassembling and photographing them. These altered images are then transfer printed onto wood panels through a labour-intensive process of embedding paper into wet acrylic before rubbing the surface back by hand, allowing abrasion, misregistration and repair to become integral to the final work.
Rather than treating damage as something to conceal, Stein uses printmaking as a way of testing how much disruption an image can withstand while continuing to hold together. Paint is worked into grazes and interruptions, acknowledging the image’s vulnerability while restoring its coherence.
Historical gestures are reconfigured into new visual relationships that evoke movement, rhythm and shared human experience. Through layering, repetition and reconstruction, the work reflects on persistence, transformation and the fragile structures that hold both images and people together.
Printmaking is central to Stein’s practice, not only as a means of reproduction but as a material process through which images are continually translated, challenged and remade.
