Discipline:

Painting and Drawing

Location:

Bournemouth

ABOUT:

Sadie is a multi disciplined artist focusing specifically on Drawing and Painting. Her concepts are based around the anthropocene and socio- environmental issues surrounding it. More recently her practice has been centred around animal ethics and speciesism. She approaches her work with a realistic style combined with varying textures to intentionally shock an audience once the theme is revealed through the use of a title. Sadies work is motivated by the idea of transformation, turning the more grotesque aspects of real life into beautiful pieces of art. The specific qualities of her paintings have been known to denote surfaces such as skin and feathers, creating an oddly satisfying view of an unknown animalesque landscape. The aim of her work is to educate society about the detrimental effects of many immoral opinions that society has, where they view themselves as superior to the rest of the world, and to narrow this gap.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
