SARAH McGINITY paints outsized
portraits of fictional subjects. Her poetic works inhabit an
ambiguous space between reality and imagination that force one
to reconsider notions of form and beauty. This emphasis on
artificial, non-authentic portraiture is therefore a means for
the artist to explore her own preconceptions about generic
types. The result is a portrayal of strange, beautiful
manifestations that are equally alluring and vacant. McGinity's
most recent work focuses heavily on a sense of boredom and
indifference in her characterizations; she emphasizes a
refreshingly non-psychological, illusory objectivity. |
