Carol Wyss

£0.00
Wings of Desire This diptych piece is about the idea of the human shoulder blades as the place where our wings would be attached. The wings are a bridge between the physical and the spiritual with the metaphysical concept of the angel who in Wim Wenders film 'Wings of Desire' wants to become human to experience physical love. In times like these the age-old human desire to fly, to escape our current reality, is very pertinent. Carol Wyss’ work is a concerted search for the structure of things – deconstructing existing and creating new recognizable patterns. The skeleton is the basic structure through which she examines the relationship of humans to their surroundings and our impact on and synergy with the planet we currently inhabit. Bones are essential in reconstructing who we are and where we come from. Recognizing patterns is crucial to humans, helping understand and predict what is coming. Abstraction is part of the process – not trying to hide the origins, rather broadening the possibilities for interpretation.

  • Our pioneering exhibition model of 50% specialist galleries and 50% independent artists is unique in supporting artists who may not have the opportunity to show in an international art fair which generally rely on gallery representation. 

    WCPF's global art platform hosts an open call that gives artists the cchance to have their work reviewed by a panel of leading industry experts, with successful artworks going on to show in the Fair's 'Curated Hang' section alongside celebrated names and work from renowned galleries. 

    This exposure provides further opportunities for artist awards, prizes and residencies, to significant acquisitions and gallery representation.

  • Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair only deals in original prints and does not work with reproduction prints which are copies of other artworks, and where the term 'print' can be misunderstood.

    An ‘Original Print’ is a work of art that was conceived as a print in its first instance, as opposed to a reproduction of another original work.

    This means the artist has set about to create a print, whether it is an etching, mono-print, lithograph etc. rather than simply taking a photograph or scan of an existing artwork and printing out a number of ‘reproduction’ prints like a poster. The artist decides on the number of editions within the print run and number each accordingly (eg. 1/30). There is no difference in value between the first and the last print within the edition as each one is an original artwork.

    Once all editions have been printed the matrix is destroyed or repurposed so no others can be made.
