Inspired by a young boy from Varanasi, walking the empty beach with a horse in tow (not a large horse but even so it dwarfed his tiny frame), and a distinctly Peter Pan-esque attitude! Like many young children from poor families in India there was a wiley wordliness about him as he targeted tourists in the most ingenious and cheeky of ways but mixed with a wide eyed and excitable naivety of boyhood. I wanted to represent him here as all lost boys, all his future dreams, aspirations and ambition growing slowly in the eggs that scatter around him, waiting one day to crack open and be seized. His horse, which when i met him was the prized source of his hope and future, here becomes the entire universe, confidently pulled down and held in check.

Saskia is a London based artist who has exhibited in the UK and New York, had work selected for the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, and been commissioned both publicly and privately. She has been awarded prizes for drawing, sculpture and mixed media as well as the Rome Art Program and Edwin Russel Sculpture scholarships. My work is driven by the desire to explore and define my own existence and through it I seek dialogue with age old concerns of the human psyche. How do we formulate an image of self and what is our relationship to that self and to the world around us? Each time I confront a work in the studio, I am confronting myself and sucked into the dark and subterranean worlds of the psyche. I aim to create psychological spaces of tension and isolation, where figures simultaneously dissolve, decay, grow and find form. Working across two and three dimensions, my use of materials reflects the violence and fragility of the human condition, as I build up and scrape back, destroy and reconstruct, in a restless search for image, search for self and identity, search for meaning- search for elusive solid ground. The dance of Eros and Thanatos.
