Sarah Sutro
The artist for today's blog's name is Sarah Sutro. Now here's the data I gained about her and her talent. She has lived in Boston, New York, Ithaca, Asia, and Oakland, CA. Her work focuses strongly on process, repetition, building on texture, and the emphasis of movement. Her artwork focuses on paintings with patterns and abstract landscapes representing nature. Most of her artwork started off on the coast of Georgia, where she painted in semi-wild jungle among tidal rivers at the Ossabaw Island Project. There her work towards abstract went up to a whole new level. She started to focus on energy, movement, and earthy tone. She won a Pollock Krasner Grant in 2000, she was also a finalist for the Robert Frost Poetry Award in 2005. Her artwork is currently shown internationally at certain museums as well as her website.
Here's the artist's image found at the Viewing Program:

The image's name is Shadow Drawing #1.
Natural Ink on Paper
30 " x 21 "
Want to know why I chose this picture? I chose this image because of the picture's pattern. As you can see the pattern consists of 3 blue, 4 brown, 4 gold ovals and a brown stem. It may not look like much, but when you pay attention to how the colors overlap each other, the colors begin to produce different colors like darkish brown and darkish blue. As a result the image begins to stand out on its own. The other thing that can be noticed about this painting is that the colors create other shapes as well regardless of their color. Like what the title acknowledged, the ovals overlapping colors can represent the shadows in a variety of colors, which appears to be the intention. After all if you read my previous blog, you have to take consideration that the title implies something in the picture that you'll have to analyze and study the picture in order to understand it. (A.K.A. You have to look at it again in order to understand it.) The other reason I chose this image is because it can spark interest in looking at the other works that Sarah Sutro created that can be found on her website at http://www.sarahsutro.com/index.htm. So if you have the time, feel free to visit her site so you see the variety that can be found there. So, see you soon for the next image and artist.
