Sarah Spackman @ New Ashgate Gallery, Farnham

Sarah Spackman paints things we see everyday: flowers from the garden, pots used in the kitchen, fruit from the allotment. There are many ways of looking at things – we can see objects in the normal sense of the word, as things existing remotely from ourselves or we can experience things through sight as if they are tangible.  In Observations, Sarah seeks to explore this tangibility, and the tactile space between the viewer and the object. She uses colour to recreate things we have around us but do not always see, and makes us look again.
Sarah is a contemporary figurative artist well known for her still-life paintings
