Claude Vergez studied Painting at the prestigious Royal Academy Schools (postgraduate) and Central Saint Martins College of Art in London. Her work has been recognised with numerous awards, including the Contemporary British Painting Award (2023), Discerning Eye (2022), Wells Contemporary (2021), the Castellon Painting Prize in Spain (2006), the Abbey Fellowship in Painting at the British School at Rome (2005), and the Stanley Picker Fellowship in Painting (2002). She was also commissioned by Elephant charity for a special project. Vergez exhibits widely both in the UK and internationally. Her group and solo exhibitions include Hastings Contemporary, the Royal Academy, Transpalette and Drac galleries in France, the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Valence and Bourges (France), Skåpet Gallery in Sweden, Ruskin Gallery in Cambridge, the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, and as part of the Venice Biennale programme. He has also shown with private galleries in London, Boston, Los Angeles, Spain, Italy, and France, gaining a reputation for work that resonates across diverse audiences and contexts.
The work is held in Public and private collections. I have been a Senior painting lecturer at Camberwell College of Art for nearly two decades and taught at many Art Schools around the country. The work is featured in several articles and publications and will be the subject of an upcoming book with writer Dr Richard Davey and Beams Editions in 2025. My work develops on the traditions of modernist gestural and geometric abstraction in painting, endgames, grid mutations and its relationship with ornamentation and nature. The work is informed by my extensive daily drawing practice of geometric formation, automatic writing, found images and from nature. Picking out the constructs of painting, I find the process of looking a transformative experience. It is not only about looking at a picture or a narrative but a physical experience where one feels the thoughts made manifest by the materiality of paint and the gesture of the artist.
