Caragh Thuring

The Monteverdi Art Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new and existing work by Belgian artist Caragh Thuring. Born in Brussels in 1972, Caragh Thuring’s unique language relishes but undermines the inherent flatness of painting, destabilizing the viewer into reassessing how they have been conditioned to look and see.

Never making preparatory drawings, Thuring paints fluidly and intuitively, building and arranging imagery in opposition to traditional visual and logical hierarchies. In a constant filtering of the world, her fractured compositions of people and places interweave history, the present and the future into a glimpsed experience that’s both technological and human.

In her series of window paintings, or ‘lateral portraits’ as the artist refers to them, window ledge displays reveal the self fashioning of the buildings’ unseen occupants. Thuring is curious about what lies beyond, out of sight, or beneath the surface, be it man-made, a person, or a landscape. Volcanoes, their geological structures, and nuclear submarines both reoccur in her work and further emphasize the clash of the natural and the manufactured.

Thuring’s exhibition begins with an opening event and reception with the artist on July 30th at 5pm in the Monteverdi Gallery. The show is on view daily from 11am-7pm and will run through October 2026.
