Artwork Description

The thing about still lifes is that the subject stays still. So, naturally, I chose to paint a collection of round things, precariously leaning against each other and posed to look like they're about to roll off the canvas. Painted in an indirect style, this painting gleams in rich, deep, moody tones.

Artist Bio

Sarah Peach 13 artworks | 0 Sold

Born in Australia to an expat family, I lived in four different countries before I started high school, an upbringing that taught me to appreciate the universality of art as a medium of communication and connection. A chance encounter with Copley's A Boy With A Flying Squirrel inspired a passion for realer-than-real art that inspires the mind with its skill as much as its meaning, and I followed that passion to a bachelor of fine arts at COFA. A night owl and feral animal fan, my work draws inspiration from the deep shadows and bright lights of the evening urban environment and the unkempt beauty of the natural world, with stylistic influences drawn from the allegorical details of the Dutch Golden Age to the hyper-saturated colours of Pop Art and everything in between.
