4me4you recently visited Rhodes Contemporary Gallery to view a captivating exhibition by the artist Morag Caister.
Her figures, often portrayed in states of introspection or gentle disorientation, seem suspended between internal and external realities, moments of stillness that speak volumes.
In this latest body of work, she delves into the concept of imagined refuge: the internal landscapes we construct to process grief, longing, and emotional complexity.
Each painting holds a subtle, dreamlike rhythm. Time feels fluid, non-linear, as Caister plays delicately with mood and atmosphere.
Her meticulous attention to shadow, gesture, and posture transforms the human form into a vessel for transformation and reverie. These works invite the viewer into an intimate psychological space, where the act of wishing and the pursuit of an emotional “elsewhere” are quietly honoured.
By framing the body as a site of both dreaming and becoming, Caister gives voice to the softer, often hidden layers of the self—creating a poignant and thought-provoking viewing experience.
