Clare Chinnery is a British artist based on the Wirral whose work explores the charged tension between beauty and decay. Working primarily in oil paint, she builds rich, tactile surfaces through layering, scraping, and gestural mark‑making, often punctuated with bursts of spray paint that bring energy and immediacy to her compositions. Drawing inspiration from seventeenth‑century Dutch Vanitas painting, Clare reimagines classical still‑life symbolism through a contemporary, quietly rebellious lens. Her floral works in particular carry a punk sensibility, luminous, emotional, and alive, rejecting the saccharine in favour of something raw and resonant. Clare studied Fine Art Painting at Liverpool John Moores University and has exhibited widely across the UK, with work held in private collections internationally.
Happy Endings
Original Artwork
Oil Paint and Spray paint on Canvas
Framed Measurements 39 cm x 34 cm
Happy Endings is Clare Chinnery’s vibrant, contemporary nod to the 17th‑century still‑life master Rachel Ruysch. What begins as a simple vase of flowers becomes a celebration of colour, movement, and the small joys of the everyday.
Thick, vibrant layers of paint build a richly textured surface, giving the bouquet a sense of energy and physical presence. The flowers seem to lift and sway, animated by Clare’s expressive brushwork and luminous palette. There’s a joyful immediacy to the piece — a feeling that the blooms have just been gathered, still carrying the warmth of the moment.
Rooted in art‑historical tradition yet unmistakably modern, Happy Endings honours the beauty of simple pleasures while embracing Clare’s signature contemporary still‑life style: bold, textured, and full of life.
