Bend in the RIver, Black and White

2014

About the Item

Nothing short of amazing, this is an exceptional DRAWING by an artist that is appreciated for her skill and abilities and pictorial beauty. Her meticulous style of working with charcoal in this case and ink but often with pencil, has garnered her many collectors of her work. She often works in series and this is from 2014. It is under plexiStriking for anSarah Gillespie lives in Devon, England and works full-time as a painter, typically making tiny oil sketches outside in the summer months, and then very large studio canvases and charcoals in the winter. In Bend in the river, an ambitious and highly detailed drawing, Gillespie imbues an otherwise unnoticed passage with great importance. What appears as ultimate darkness is actually lively with crosshatching depth upon close inspection. Gillespie's attention to detail in the darks punctuates the shiny river and sews light into the image. The Drawing measures 40 x 40 inches so the listed size is the framed size and its a high quality lovely deep black frame. The piece is signed in the lower left. This is a work of art that in person is nothing short of amazing while in digital images it does not show to its full potential. So, to have this in a room and enjoy it is immeasurable.
