Artist - Sarah LowePainting is for me what yoga is to others, it lifts me out of my everyday life and allows me to observe without judgement and add my own colours and tone to shape what I see around me. What is equally important to me is what I choose to leave out of a picture. “The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.” Alberto Giacometti Having spent the majority of my life in suburbia, I swing from wanting to paint dark wooded paths and calm lakes to the energy of urban existence with its bright light and night life. I live on the edge of some beautiful parks and minutes from the centre of London but it is also the in-between, the suburban sprawl and ordinary beauty which I love. |
