Sarah Letovsky, Untitled, watercolour on paper, 13 x 11 in., 2018

Sarah Letovsky takes inspiration from the tradition of figurative painting and the female subject as muse, with a painting language that invites a play between subject, brushstroke, and the physical process of painting. Influenced by the interior lives of women, Letovsky's work often evokes a sense of intimacy, hinting at spaces of belonging and familiarity such as bedrooms and living rooms. Her work invites the viewer to consider the self-image as a contradiction and an equilibrium in which the private becomes public, a work of both intimacy and exhibitionism.
