Oil on canvas paper, 35.5 × 25cm
Sikelela Owen’s works explore intimacy, motherhood, memories - whether real or constructed - and grief. Characterised by a muted, organic palette, her imagery aims, in the artist’s words, ‘to create a feeling, not illustrate a feeling’.
Sikelela works on a range of scales making unique works and, in this case, limited edition prints. Her portraits use friends, family and wider images as subject matter. Figures are portrayed alone, or clustered in small groups, at leisure or at rest. The theme of continuity is reflected in the artist’s loose, flowing brushstrokes, whilst a lightness of touch is conveyed by layered translucent washes of paint.
This new, framed oil on paper painting is part of our ‘A Day at the Seaside’ exhibition and online collection. It is typical of the artist’s imagery in terms of its tenderness and the obvious sense of affection towards her young subject.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
