Sarah Finucane
Rapt, Original Contemporary Abstract Mixed Media Painting on Canvas

2022

About the Item

Rapt, Original Contemporary Abstract Mixed Media Painting on Canvas 48x36 (HxW), Mixed Media A light gray tone dominates the canvas in this mixed media work by artist Sarah Finucane. Splashes of organic shapes, linear elements, and identifiable lettering is reminiscent of graffiti tagging you might see in a city or urban setting. Finucane's utilization of this aesthetic but on a large format canvas brings an interplay between the "low" and "high" art in our society. In-situ images are mockups only; work comes unframed. Artist Commentary: 36x48x1.5” mixed media on canvas. Like a dog with two tails, this piece symbolizes the feeling when you wake up ecstatic to see the sunshine after a three, four, five dark and gloomy days. The lines float the eye around the canvas like walking on air. The earthy color palette of raw sienna and Indian yellow is inspired by vintage woven Berber textiles from Marrakech. Subtle but happy pops of neon pink acrylic ink counterbalance the simple textural background of milkshake white and Athena gray. Dry brush strokes in warm new age gray, again counterbalanced by the cool aegean teal gray. About the Artist: BIO As a rebellious high schooler with a reputation for cutting classes, I spent my days in the dark room or at the local arts guild, indulging in the art classes I was actually interested in rather than suffering through algebra. Despite my love for skipping school, I still managed to earn a spot on the honor roll my senior year. After graduating from Savannah College of Art & Design, I headed west to the sunny (and slightly sketchy) beaches of Venice, California, where I spent the next two decades working as a Creative Director and Product Design Strategist by day and perfecting my painting skills by night. Now, I've come full circle and returned to my roots in the lush and snowy landscapes of the east coast, setting up a private art and design studio in a converted post and beam barn that was once a General Store in the 1740s. With the help of my three studio assistants, my rescue terrier Potter, and my cats Cleo and Sparky, I'm able to bring my creative vision to life in this unique and inspiring space. STATEMENT As an artist and designer, I've always marched to the beat of my own drum and relish the challenge of turning nothing into something. But after reaching the peak of my career in product design, I found myself burnt out and craving something more. So, I took a break from the corporate world and returned to my artistic roots through painting. I currently work with two distinct approaches: one that is frenetic, spontaneous, and painterly, and another that is methodically designed and planned. The first approach is fueled by feelings and memories that arise from the music on my playlist, and involves bold color combinations, clean lines, and primitive marks made with unconventional tools like lemons and mops. The second approach is inspired by color and involves exploring textures, patterns, and deeply layered compositions through the use of various mediums and tools. In my studio, I use a wide range of mediums and tools, including acrylic, oil sticks, spray paint, pastels, graphite, ink, and everything from wallpaper brushes to toilet brushes and fruit. I also incorporate printmaking and collaging techniques, using both painted and found objects like vintage wallpaper, wrapping paper, magazines, piano paper, and sewing patterns. Overall, my work is characterized by its wit, edginess, irreverence, rebellion, honesty, and a playful, eclectic, and whimsical range of moods.
