Artist Statement for Sally Trueman

Artist Statement (February, 2012.)
“The medium that I work in is dictated by the ideas that I have. The relationship between the idea and the material for me is very important. In the last few years, I have worked predominantly in pastel, although it is one of the most permanent mediums, it is also possibly the most fragile.
My ideas and work continue to explore, through the human figure, the theme of “intimacy between bodies”. The familiarity and closeness of lovers or the chance meeting that turns a stranger into a confident. Set in a world in which figurative painting can coexists with abstract patterns, created by the reflections of light on water.
The powder pigments of pastels have a similar quality to the idea of “lovers” — both hover between being there and not being there.
Pastels don’t have the material certainty of oil paints. So the with pastels, it’s almost as if you could blow them away. It’s like dust in the desert.
The choice of medium has to compliment the idea. The pastel medium mirrors the fragility of love. So the relationship between the idea and the material is more fragile executed in pastels then it would be in oil paint. However, the destructive power of love and the weight of unrelinquished love can be portrayed and enhanced with the heavier material such as oil, on canvas.
I am continuing to develop this relationship between the materials that I use to help convey the “idea” in a painting.
The theme “intimacy between bodies” embraces my new series of oil paintings depicting my relationship with the Kent coast of England. Also known as the Garden of England, Kent has many miles of diverse coast line.
Why do I love the sea? It stirs up so many powerful emotions within me, but most of all because of its incredible beauty.”
“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever. “ Jacques Yves Cousteau
