Artist Bio

Claire Gavronsky works in a variety of mediums, most notably in painting and sculpture. Her work often uses visual reference's to historical paintings, and cues are sometimes taken from events from everyday life. Memory, racism, violence against women and children are some of the theme's which run through her oeuvre. Her work also bridge's sometimes complex narratives through overlaid images, and stories which link the past to the present.

In 1981 Gavronsky received a Master of Fine Art in painting, and she moved to Italy in 1985 and has since lived between Cape Town and Tuscany.

In Florence, Gavronsky established, with fellow artist Rosemarie Shakinovsky, an international artist’s residency workshop in Tuscany. After the success of these workshops they founded workshops in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Venda and Botswana. Gavronsky and Shakinovsky often collaborate under the name Rosenclaire. They also collaborate on occasion with William Kentridge. She has exhibited extensively in South Africa, Europe and the United States of America.
