Sarah Harvey. Handstand, 2007 (private collection).

Oil on canvas: ca. 160 x 100 cm. Sarah Harvey: “…I am greatly influenced by Francis Bacon's Carcass and crucifixion paintings, and of course by the work of Jenny Saville.

Teodora Axente. Becoming III, 2012 (Taylor Art Collection, Denver).

Oil on canvas: 50 x 33 cm. Teodora Axente (2021): “In order to define these two sides of the human being, the material and the spiritual, I chose to wrap my characters in cheap but shiny materials such as foil or cellophane ornaments that evoke the individual's dependence on the consumer society but also highlights superficiality. For example, the Becoming series evokes precisely that self-denial of the human being. Self-denial is effectuated in a ritual in which my characters are either on their knees or levitating above a chair from which only the legs remain, indicating the self-struggle”.

Sarah Harvey. Falling Pleasure, 2010 (private collection).

Oil on linen: 151 x 134 cm. Sarah Harvey: “…I have become increasingly excited about the abstract elements in these works, and the interplay between light, colour and water. The emerging patterns are becoming more apparent and dominant, drawing the eye not only towards the main focal point of the human form, but also to the surrounding areas, which are of equal significance”

Lisa Brice. Untitled, 2019 (artist’s portfolio).

Oil, synthetic tempera, ink and pastel on linen: 203 x 105 cm. Lisa Brice (2018): “I am drawn to the ambiguity that people and places can hold. Sometimes the compositions of my paintings feel like cinematic outtakes: the moments between directed actions, when the figures are ‘on their own time’, self-involved, performing only for themselves or one another. There are infinite possibilities embodied in these transitional states of being, which could also be a time of day, or adolescence, or gender, or rooms that feel like threshold spaces – thinly veiled interiors with glimpses of the exterior, grilles or indoor plants, typical in the tropics. These are all thrilling states – a kind of magical suspension”.
