Sarah Blackah's work is an exuberant use of colour and texture with thickly applied layers of bold pure colour, perfectly balanced and mouthwatering in their brilliance and range. The energetic brush and knife marks suggest a real passion for the subject and the medium whilst swift, confident linework carved into the rich, vibrant oil paint, gives form and another element of colour, as the lower layers are revealed, that contrasts with a startling effect.
