Sophie Adair
"Anastasia" - Sunset Seascape with Crashing Wave

2020

About the Item

Sunset seascape by British artist Sophie Adair (20th Century). A wave is crashing the foreground, with seafoam lifting off the top of the wave. Reflections from the sun draw the viewer's eye to the horizon, and ultimately the sun, rendered with a thick brushstroke, floating against a pale orange and light blue sky. Titled, signed, and dated on verso. No frame. Board size: 9.88"H x 8"W Sophie Adair is a young talent living in France whose paintings have been featured in solo exhibitions nationally. Working primarily in oil paints, Adair creates impressionist style seascapes to explore the hidden beauty of water and its reflections. Her work is characterized by great technical detail in the rendering of waves and sea foam, prioritizing the delicate light on the ocean surface. Artist's statement: "For the past few years I have been exploring seascapes, in particular the lighting and shadows within them. It started for me as a challenge; water was the subject I found most difficult to paint and so this spurred me on. I wanted to perfect my skill although I found whilst searching for perfection I enjoyed the chaos within seascapes more. My work has slowly evolved from painting the sea as a subject to painting it as a person, each painting is personified and named after women, whether they’re a historical figure or simply a strong woman who altered my life in some way. My paintings include stormy skies and rocky shore lines and within each I try to portray the subtle lighting, tones and mood of each seascape creating the emotions I feel are present within the scene."

Farewell
Located in Columbia, MO
Joel D. Sager (b. 1980) is a contemporary American painter of landscapes, still-life and portraiture. Often drawing on such standard subject matter with economy and singularity— a solitary figure in a room or misplaced sock on a bed— the conceptual element of his work becomes a contemplation on meaning for even the simplest objects: person, place, or thing. Sager's process often involves a distinctive mixture of media, incorporating tar with oil pigments, or wallpaper with squid ink...
