Tees Colour Register

Tees Colour Register is a new body of work, consisting of a series of paintings, prints and drawings, made in parallel with her recent commission for Middlesbrough Railway Station, a vibrant, 50-metre vinyl mural on the upper windows of the station’s concourse. 

The work is a continuation of Clewlow’s investigations into how to translate the world around her, in this case using the regional rail network as the mode of travel. Her works may appear decorative and simple, but they are also complex representations of specific places, composed using rigorous systems of data gathering and interpretation. Taken as a whole, Tees Colour Register presents a joyous, technicolour vision of a region that is often maligned for an assumed bleakness in its post-industrial vistas. Seen through Clewlow’s eyes, there is order, beauty and unending potential.
