Oscar Wilde's 'The Selfish Giant'...cycles, seasons, contrasts, conflicts. Lonliness, isolation. Inspiration for new piece...

About Me

My photo
Rhea Sherriff-Hammond
North Yorkshire/South East London, United Kingdom
Rhea is a British fine artist working on canvas in oils and mixed media from her farmhouse studio on the North Yorkshire Moors, and also S/E London. Consistently under commission, she explores the use of textiles, mixed media, and traditional painting techniques in a 2D format, exploring a broad range of subject matters, most recently, allegorical and fairy stories, executed in a fairly narrative, illustrative way. With a ‘nod’ to kitsch, and a ‘wink’ at irony, they revel in the playful, disarming qualities that humour lends to an artwork, actually underpinning it's sincerity. All this is done with a subtlety, and a sensitive regard for what, in essence, makes a really great artwork. Utilising dated fabrics, salvaged items, household paints, innovative stencilling methods, traditional painting techniques and juxtaposing figuration and abstraction, Rhea describes her process as a means to produce exciting, opulent, sensitive and sensual paintings that aim to take the audience on a silent roller coaster ride of thematic tension, touching on historical, allegorical, fantastical narratives, pitched against the mundane and homogenous.
