Sara Dare

Sara Dare primarily works on a large-scale using paper, linen and canvas, combined with a range of mediums informed by finish and viscosity such as ink, oil, emulsion and acrylic. Psychologically charged forms push against the edges of the canvas, split open, dangle and protrude, a fine balance between discomfort and humour, and the worldly and contrived. Large scale works create illusions of ergonomic space, while smaller works emphasise the broad-brushed gesture and allow the viewer to observe more intimately a personal dissection or close-up.Dare is present in the evidence of brushstrokes and subtle nods to process.
