Moments of Calm
고요의 순간
Alfie Caine (b.1996) is a British artist who lives and works in Rye, East Sussex. Caine creates architectural dreamscapes in his intricately constructed paintings, merging domestic scenes with striking natural landscapes to form environ-ments that are idealized, yet always tinged with familiarity. His scenes are inviting and revel in the small moments of pleasure we take in daily life, lighting a candle, or admiring freshly picked flowers. Yet their surrounding imaginary, almost fantastical, interiors and landscape exude a surreality that draws us beyond daily life and into the otherworldly realm of dreams. Caine's art work, which communicates through architectural characteristics, and creates unique inner space where context of meaning or the distinction between reality and non reality disappears, has captured the attention of the global art world. ARTSY, an online art platform based in New York City, recently selected Caine as the "No. 1 emerging artist that collectors are watching."
≪Moments of Calm≫ is a body of work which sees Caine approach exhibition making in a new and distinctly cinematic way. A thorough line runs between the works in the exhibition, linking each irrevocably to the other as Caine draws on personal experience of environments and one particular setting as the anchor for his works. The landscape and atmosphere of Rye, a town in Sussex, UK, where the artists lives and works, permeate all his paintings. The rolling hills and expanses of water of water of the South Downs and the town's quiet historical feel are tangible and recognizable throughout Moments of Calm.
