About the Item

On The Horizon by Christina Sadler [2020] original Mixed Media on Canvas Image size: H:20 cm x W:20 cm Complete Size of Unframed Work: H:20 cm x W:20 cm x D:2cm Sold Unframed Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look This is an original painting by Christina Sadler, also known as Maker Who Doesn't Make. It is part of a collection of work called the Horizon Series. This series explores connections with nature and the meditative value of looking towards a horizon and the grounding it gives. There's something calming looking out to sea. There is a point at which you know things continue but you can't see it; where the sky blends into the sea. It reminds you of trust, of believing in your instincts and to have faith that if you keep going things will become clear. Christina believes that creating and viewing art can improve your wellbeing: “I get immense enjoyment from painting, when I am making I feel better, less anxious and restful. Viewing art can make you feel like this too and I believe the calmness I feel when painting translates into my work. I am fascinated by the connections others make with my paintings and the memories or feelings it evokes in them." Christina Sadler is an abstract artist based in Gloucester. Working under the name Maker Who Doesn’t Make she creates paintings inspired by the natural world that soothe, relax and calm. The physical act of painting is important in creating each piece. Working with inks, watered down paints and pigments she creates layers of translucent colour that flow over the paintings. She manipulates the materials, sometimes allowing them move freely and other times directing them into a space. Therefore creating a balance of control between paint and painter. She says. “I’m inspired by the natural world and how its uncertainty is similar to what people experience in day to day life; how you can control some things but not everything. This is reflected in the way I paint, allowing the mediums to flow and drip but then removing or altering the layers. Christina believes that creating and viewing art can improve your wellbeing: I get immense enjoyment from painting, when I am making I feel better, less anxious and restful. Viewing art can make you feel like this too and I believe the calmness I feel when painting translates into my work. I am fascinated by the connections others make with my paintings and the memories or feelings it evokes in them. Therefore I tend to provide suggestions rather than dictate what a piece is. Having graduated with a first class degree in Fine Art, dreaming of being an artist, she exhibited in group shows and even exhibited on the London Underground. After working in different cultural organisations, surrounding herself with the arts and creative people and shouting about the benefit of art and creativity, she slowly stopped creating for herself. Deciding to focus on work and family, the making stalled. She had always seen herself as creative but wasn’t actually making; a Maker Who Doesn’t Make. It wasn’t until her Grandmother passed away and she struggled to cope that she had an urge to start making again, she knew she felt better when she was making art and it gave her enjoyment. She wanted to share this with others but also wanted to feel the benefit herself. Fast forward and she’s now creating for a living, most recently making artwork to create a tranquil space in a hospital mental health room and hosting a pop up shop selling her art in John Lewis.

  • Lost in Time by Jim Seitz, Large Silver Leaf Minimalist Landscape Painting
    By Jim Seitz
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    'Lost in Time' is a large minimalist acrylic and silver leaf on canvas landscape painting of square format, created by American artist Jim Seitz in 2023. Featuring a palette made of silver, white, black and gold tones, the painting depicts a large white cloud, standing out beautifully on a grey sky and dominating a line of dark trees. The ensemble is perfectly contrasted by the luminous presence of the foreground. Unframed, this minimalist acrylic and silver leaf on canvas landscape painting is signed lower right. Jim Seitz was born in Chicago and currently resides in Louisiana. He grew up in Texas and graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree. He began showing talent and love for art as a young child, becoming more serious during his college years. During the time he worked for the university, providing medical illustrations for the Science Department, He has traveled extensively throughout his life, living for several years in the Middle East, before moving to South East Asia. His travel experiences have included everything from cave explorations in the mountains of Iran to working in the jungles of New Guinea and Borneo. His preferred medium during that time was ink and watercolor, as it was easy to transport to and from remote locations. While influenced by various 19th century landscape artists, Jim has developed a unique technique characterized by tonal, minimalist representation of his subject matter. Through this approach, less becomes more. His appreciation for color and his creative perspective lend to pieces that are traditional, moving to abstract. His utilization of gold leaf applied over heavy textured canvas and then glazed with multiple layers of acrylics provides an effect that is quickly becoming this artist’s signature style. Jim’s work...
