Item Description
Using her subconscious as a guide, Sara Pittman’s work focuses on creating over-scale, balanced compositions that derive from a constant exchange between a repressed state of mind and the conscious self; a balance between loose and controlled movement, pockets of detail with the use of negative space, and the tension of bold and soft color. Incorporating negative space invites the viewer to have a focused dialogue with the images that are presenting themselves and beckons deeper observation. A wordless narrative evolves through the thin, transparent layers of paint and mark-making, evoking a sense of mood and mystery between what the viewer sees as the foreground and what their eyes see overlying it. The depth of her work creates an experience by asking those viewing it to come closer and unveil what is buried beneath.
Sara paints full-time out of her studio at Redux Contemporary Art Center in Charleston.
