This work is currently shortlisted for the Signature Art Prize 2019/20. If you wish to purchase this piece it will be available after the 13th February 2020. About the artist: My current body of work has developed through an interest in the representation of character, utilising the qualities of Gesture, Persona and Pose to build this character and likeness. These features became relevant in my practice as I wished to move away from the conventional self-portrait while still conveying something of myself in my work. By exploring the role of photography as a painting aid, I subsequently found that some work translated better in this format. Therefore, questions around the relevance of painted portraiture in the modern, digitised environment of contemporary art arose. I have attempted to answer these questions around the Painted Portrait Now by using Isabelle Graw’s concept of paint as a Success Medium and its portrayal of Vitalist Projections. About the work: 'Sister' is a portrait of my younger sister Sophie. The pose stresses the dominance of her gaze which is intended to engage and form a dialogue with the viewer. By using hard lines and prominent colours as a form of confrontation, Sophie is depicted as a simplified exaggeration of herself. This is a representation of her persona.
