Objective Beauty: Sarah Spackman | Solo Exhibition

 In the exhibition ‘Objective Beauty’ Sarah Spackman continues to paint in her quiet considered way, underpinned by her guiding principle that good drawing is the basis of good painting, and that colour should be used to enhance the organisation and definition of observed space and form.

Her carefully selected subjects, a bouquet of garden flowers arranged in a studio vessel, a bowl of allotment produce, or vibrant sliced lemons, each come to life in the paintings. She explains: ‘Using colour to define the structure, I am looking for both clarity and richness. As Cezanne said, “Art is a harmony parallel to nature”.

Sarah Spackman’s practice is grounded in traditional principles and yet resonates with a contemporary meditative energy. Each piece is a close study in time, light, colour and space, as she reveals to the viewer the enduring beauty in the everyday, through her masterful handling of her chosen medium.
