Sarah Harvey. Virtuous Desire, 2010 (private collection).


Oil on linen: 82 x 110 cm. Sarah Harvey: "…My paintings of figures floating are predominantly self portraits. I aim to create paintings that arouse both a sense of well being and pleasure, whilst simultaneously suggesting notions of insecurity, fantasy and sexuality. Entirely suspended by the water, the human forms are fragmented by the ripples and swirls created by the water, abstracting them, and often with implausible results such as the appearance of disfiguration or distortion”.
