Artist: Sarah Folkman
Folkman is a contemporary artist living in North Hollywood, Los Angeles. Folkman fills her pieces with symbolic and figurative elements, making undoubtedly beautiful paintings. For each body of work, a new type of wood is used. It is a challenge she gladly accepts as different types of wood take paint in various ways, placing the very atypical constraints on her technique, forcing the artist into more control and deliberation. Two motifs seem to be her favorite – first being a nude female figure, which makes paintings more vulnerable and honest. The other constant theme is birds. All of them are born from the echoes of the love she felt to one particular sparrow that lived un-caged with the artist for more than 4 years.
