‘You And I Are Earth’ a series by Claire Cansick
A selection of some of my favorite paintings by Claire Cansick. In her powerful series You and I Are Earth, Norfolk-based painter Claire Cansick captures the global impact of climate change through a collection of oil paintings rooted in a year’s worth of news and social media coverage. Each piece serves as a still frame of extreme weather events, transforming fleeting media images into lasting reflections on environmental crisis. Displayed chronologically, the series reveals repeating patterns and a growing sense of urgency—underscoring the shared consequences faced across continents.
Working with a signature four-color palette, Cansick brings a quiet intensity to each landscape, blending romantic pragmatism with a deep concern for the natural world. You and I Are Earth invites viewers to slow down, take in the full scope of climate disruption, and consider the collective responsibility we hold in the face of a rapidly shifting planet.
