About the Item

Oil on canvas. The Artist wanted the water to have movement - the frothy coming at you feeling. The Artist, Sally Breen takes her inspiration from nature and scenes of life, drawing on the continual change of light and the reflection from the water surrounding her. “An artist whose large-scale work represents images of nature absent of human life, Sally Breen captures the ephemeral and enduring beauty of sea and light and sky, a dynamic aesthetic that emanates from the relationships between these elements, harmony poised to erupt. Ms. Breen employs classical and contemporary methods to evoke the stability and fragility of nature. In the tradition of the sublime, her work humbles the viewer. Departing from tradition, her studied color contrasts and perspectives convey uniquely twenty-first century images of nature independent from humans yet also inflected by human perception. The world she conjures—majestic swathes of sea and sky, land and light; inhabited solely by the elements—invites us to escape into sheer beauty and reminds us that ultimately this world is not our own.”
