Acrylic on canvas
Signed on the back.
Kerry seeks uplifting images and motifs to capture inspiration in her art, and when she came across this image she was taken by the motion of the woman swimming forward into light. With the models hair and dress flowing behind her, she swims through her underwater world, lifting her head and basking her face in the light. The bold blue-greens and contrasting orange gives a sense that this woman seeks out joy and adventure in her life. An uplifting message for any person looking to live beyond the ordinary.
Kerry has used a contemporary approach using techniques such as expressionism and pop art to capture her model in contrasting colours of teal and orange to give a sense of passion and energy.
Painted onto un-stretched canvas, the face of the painting measures 179cm x 118cm, and Kerry has allowed a minimum of a further 8 cm all around the painting to allow for stretching by your preferred professional framer. This further 8 cm will give you a painted edge to carry around the sides of your stretched painting.
