Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas

Signed on the back.

This image to the artist is all about self love. Those moments when you look at yourself with affection and understanding. Those moments when you recognise yourself in others and you find them irresistible. Those moments when you look back at your youthful self and you wish to reach back through time and love yourself better. The bold magenta and contrasting acqua and teal gives a fresh vibrancy against the dark background. A "popped" and bright interpretation of Zena Holloway's irresistible and beautiful photograph "Sisters". Named after a line in William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 62"
"...Self so self-loving were iniquity
'Tis thee, myself, that for myself I praise.
Painting my age with beauty of thy days"
Kerry has used a contemporary approach using techniques such as expressionism and pop art to capture her model in contrasting colours to give a sense of passion and energy.
Painted onto un-stretched canvas, the face of the painting measures 183cm x 120cm, and Kerry has allowed 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 canvas. Don't be put off by the fact it's not stretched and ready to hang - Bluethumb offer an excellent and cost effective stretching/framing service. With a reduced carbon footprint, and lowered risk, your painting travelling in a thick tube rather than a big wooden crate just makes sense!

Medium

This painting is painted using professional artist acrylics and mediums from Matisse, Golden, and Liquitex Professional Spray Paint. Golden Self Levelling Medium has been painted onto the canvas prior to painting the image - creating texture and an impression of movement to the surface of the painting. The painting is finished with a Satin Varnish which protects the surface with a satin finish.
