Additional Information

Though she be but little, she is patient and fierce by Kerry Inkster – My passion… painting! My subject…portraiture and the human form. Using contemporary art practices I ask questions about the human condition through my paintings. I do not see my role as trying to answer philosophical, scientific, or poetic questions about human existence. I observe and record what I see and feel using visual qualities that convey a sense of feeling from my subjects. This is what drives me to create the art that I do.

Working from manipulated photographs and film, my current body of work is inspired by the female form in water. Using contemporary paint applications, and wet in wet painting techniques, I capture the fluidity and movement of water. Contemporary stencilling techniques from pop art influences place the figure in the foreground of my expressionistic backgrounds. This underwater habitat is refreshing and liberating, creating a sense of suspension and quietness.

Why this painting…I work from found and created photographs and this image caught my attention with the stillness and almost a pause in body movement while everything is moving around her. A look of waiting for the right time to move perhaps? To me this painting speaks of patience.
When looking for a backdrop to best display this piece it looked amazing and could honestly fit almost every possible scene so long as it could physically fit!

Materials… I have used high quality artist acrylic paints and mediums from Matisse and Golden, and Liquitex Professional Spray Paint. Using a Golden Medium for a glossy satiny finish. As with most of my paintings I personally mount the board on an “inbuilt” frame. I then paint the board and frame as one unit. This is a semi-large piece so I recommend hanging it directly from the two D rings that I supply on the back of the painting. The wooden board is subject to environmental influences. This may create short term movement in the board/mount, hence why I recommend 2 hooks holding the painting directly to the wall, not a single hook from a single wire. Signed on the Back.
