“In 1969 Yoko Ono presented a piece of conceptual art at the IsReal Gallery in New York. The instruction to the audience was to paint a circle within a rectangle. The material was open to choice suggestions included leather. silk and canvas. It is into this legacy that we dive when we try to read the paintings of Claire Fearon. They are at once obviously conceptual, playful and inserted into a history of seductive artworks.” Mark Waugh, Founder of International Curators Forum and chair of Spacex Gallery

“We are lucky to have a large Claire Fearon painting hanging in our bedroom. It has totally transformed what was a nondescript room. It seems to vibrate with vitality and power and exudes an intense energy. At other times the circle draws you in to find peace in its calm centre and the room feels almost temple like. We love it.” Chris and Isobel Smith

“At first it looks simplistically hip but there is so much more to it. As you approach the painting its depth and texture are quickly revealed. It seems to capture the room. It's definitely more than a circle, that's a fact. Everyone who enters my apartment is immediately drawn to it. It has become a part of my life and my space, I no longer feel alone when I am sitting in my apartment by myself. There is something about it I find really grounding. Thanks for creating it for me, I love it!” Michael Inzitari, NYC

“I have the painting opposite my bed so it’s the first thing I see when I wake. A vibrant contrast of pink and orange. It’s fantastic the way the light changes the painting throughout the day and captures the texture of the circle. It seems to give off heat and almost hums with energy. I love it!” Sian Webber

“Claire Fearon’s painting has rapidly become one of the family. Its character is ever changing - be it joyful, moody, passionate or contemplative. No two times has it ever looked the same as the subtleties of light and angle reveal the many hidden depths of its personality.” Dennis Kesler

“While on holiday in Brighton this year, we walked past a gallery with a painting that we instantly fell in love in with. Although we have similar taste, we generally have a hard time actually picking out something that both of us agree on -- not so with the painting as it was bright orange with a dark red background. We both have a thing for the color orange and had been looking in vein for a suitable painting for our San Francisco loft that we had been thinking about renovating. We bought Claire's painting and were delighted to have it arrive at our home just days after we returned from our trip. It now enjoys prominent wall space in our living room and we are very pleased with the aesthetic it brings. We've even begun to buy new furniture to accent the painting -- which is the reverse of what people usually do!” Alvin Richards, San Francisco
