Distraction

Sharon Roberts

acrylic on canvas

80.5 x 75 cm


(Detail photos below)

Completed during covid lockdown, this painting had an unfamiliar process in some ways. 

Gradually I applied and then worked together disparate and random layers of colour and marks, discovering in the composition a tension, an anchoring and a holding together. 

And I am reminded that a painting can tell many stories... and maybe what seems a distraction may be part of a bigger picture.
