When the Heavens Meet the Earth by Nnenna Okore;

Sarah Cain



I was researching my chosen exhibition and discovered the artist Sarah Cain.  I have found my new favorite artist.  Her work deals with the combination of painting and drawing on two and three dimensional surfaces.  Her use of popping color and integration of fabric is mouth watering. There is a wonderful push and pull with organic mark making and geometric shapes.  She explores so many realms (small and large works, sculpture, installation, found objects, painting, etc.) with such grace. Honestly, I do not remember the last time I was this jealous.

 I only posted 2-D works but if you are interested please check out her installations (many great pieces can be found via google images)!
