About the Item
Al Saralis
'Summer Breeze'
100 x 100 cm
oil on canvas
Artist Al Saralis lives and works in Hampshire (United Kingdom) and, as he says, does not paint reality, but what he perceives and wants to pass on.
His subject is always created in collaboration with the models he works with. The models are known to him and know what he wants to show with his paintings. In his colorful portraits and figure paintings, the models 'like' to look at him. The viewer makes contact with the models and thus also with the artist. After all, the models look at the artist while posing.
During the summer exhibition 'Summer Breeze' we show a series of paintings that the artist has made for the exhibition over the past six months.
The artist himself about his work:
‘I have always been interested in the classical beauty of Renaissance painting, and this alongside my fascination with the human form has led my work to develop to where it is now.
For this ‘ Summer Breeze ‘ show I chose to explore more fully the visual aspects of sun and shade which is a strong element of my imagery, compositionally.
Strong light and dark pools of shadows.
Nature and its changes are a consideration in my work. We all are aware of climate change and it's threat. This is an underlying element within my paintings. Much of the work has elements of changes in nature.
The 'breeze' is a metaphor for the changes that we are experiencing in our climate.
I use photographs as a source but am not interested in photographic realism . I love the 'frozen' moment of a photo and I try to elongate that moment. I like the contradiction of this. I often use the color of rust within the work . Rust color relates to time passing .
I regard myself as a figurative artist but not a painter of realism as such. The type of realism I try to achieve is of an expressive and emotive realism. The figures within the paintings have an introspection which is also something I like to explore .
I like my work to be regarded as a mixture of contemporary and classical.
The work of Al Saralis can be found in collections in UK, various other European countries, USA, etc.
