ARTIST PROFILE

Caroline Christie-Coxon is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses painting, site-responsive interventions with both permanent and ephemeral aspects, public art, sculpture, photography and performance. Each discipline aligns with her unique method of using circles to initiate creative outcomes and observe the resulting transformations.

Christie-Coxon’s practice is rooted in symbolism and contemporary concerns. Through her exploration of the circle and fluidity, she speaks to the cyclical nature of existence and the interconnectedness of all things. Her approach engages global concerns, envisioning a sustainable and unified future. Her work serves as a commentary on humanity’s evolving consciousness, using art to explore and respond to the complex challenges of our time.

For over three decades, Christie-Coxon has been captivated by a geometric form rich in symbolic meaning and cultural resonance. The circle is an ancient symbol with an inspiring and vast capacity to hold meaning and significance across cultures over millennia. The circle continually informs Christie-Coxon’s artistic approach, serving as an artistic mantra she practices.

By combining ancient symbolism with contemporary themes, Christie-Coxon’s fluid loop becomes a hybrid motif about interconnection. It reflects the balance between individuality and unity, microcosm and macrocosm, humanity and the environment. Christie-Coxon’s fluid loop and Circle Culture suggest coexistence and encourage recognition of the significant cultural, economic, and environmental movements of our time, emphasising the interconnectedness of humanity, the cosmos, and all living things.

“While committed to a deep exploration of paint, my practice has expanded over the years. Referencing the Circle in its infinite forms, I continue to create through a multidisciplinary art practice exploring the interconnectedness of all things and human commonality. It is my intention to create art that is universally relevant; transcending anything that divides us. The assignment of personal meaning remains key to my work, and it is through the viewer’s individual experience that my art is uniquely processed.”
