Sidonie Caron's paintings are characterized by their versatility, change and growth. Many subjects are grist for her mill and it is this change that keeps her work fresh, lively, spontaneous and experimental. Because she is a person with much curiousity, she is motivated to discover what various media and materials will create. She is frequently surprised with the results. But there are certain constants in her work. As a transplant from England, Sidonie has had an ongoing love affair with the American landscape and the results may be on canvas, paper or original serigraphs. Sidonie received her education from the St. Martins School of art in London, England and the Central School of Arts also in London, England. For many years, Sidonie drew from the nude figure and has now been doing series of clothed figures such as "Workers of the World" (the first being "Provencal Flowers" showing workers picking flowers for the perfume trade in Provance, France which was made into an original hand pulled serigraph) and most recently "Cowboys". Another Caron constant is her interest in pattern such as paintings of Oriental rug motifs sometimes laced with collage memorabilia collected from her many travels. She is intrigued with the variety and differences found in nomadic rugs capturing the richness, warmth and color in their translation to her canvases. Sidonie has paintings in many private and public collections throughout the U.S. and abroad. |
