Hello Sarah Graham fans! It seems that almost all of the most popular artists are releasing new work at the moment but this time it is Sarah Graham’s we are loving!
True to her usual style, she has painted brightly coloured sweets and toys. Her realistic pictures lead people to believe her pictures are photographs or some photoshop creation when of course they are from her own brush!
‘Lollipop Carousel’ by Sarah Graham
(Limited edition box canvas)
Her unique style is amazing & the attention to detail makes you believe how real they look; Sarah is indeed an extremely talented artist.
I especially love the vibrant colours and the way she has shown the light reflecting in all the creases of the sweet wrappers.
‘Found My Marbles’ by Sarah Graham
(Limited edition box canvas)
Wow. This is a very difficult subject to paint because there is so much light refraction in the glass, distorting the colourful swirls inside. However, Sarah has once again painted this picture so realistically, it could be a photograph! She has even painted every single light reflection, making this a dramatic, colourful yet light piece. I think it was a great idea to place them on a reflecting surface, so that the focus on the marbles is increased even more.
‘Pick n Mix’ by Sarah Graham
(Limited edition box canvas)
This one has to be my favourite! And not because I loved pick n mix as a child! This piece is yet another work by Sarah Graham that is so realistic, you feel like you could take a sweet from the picture and eat it! She has managed to reproduce perfectly the colours and even the varying textures of all the different sweets! Even the sweet bag has been reproduced with super realism; it must be very difficult to paint straight lines on a crinkled bag!
The way she blurs the background enhances the photographic feel of her piece and draws the eye to the places she wants the viewer to look.
