Caroline Walker records daily lives of the women around her on large canvases and small panels, zooming in on fleeting moments that are neither entirely private nor public, with a refined sense of light and colour. Her subjects range from her own young daughter in the living room at home to a maid in an anonymous hotel suite, portrayed in filmic scenes that we observe through windows, passageways or in reflections. In Windows at KM21, Walker's first solo museum show, she will explore themes like privacy and voyeurism from an engaged perspective. Snapshots, often taken in secret, provide the basis for Walker's oil paintings. Although her paintings suggest all kinds of scenarios, they are never fully revealed. We are left to guess as to what happens before and after the carefully captured moment, what the atmosphere is like, and what the body language of a character is telling us. The scenes are remote in some sense, but for Walker they are sometimes extremely personal. As well as her daughter, she has also painted several portraits featuring her mother. Exhibition: KM21, Kunstmuseum, The Hague, The Netherlands (28.08.-28.11.2021).
