About The Artwork

The series ‘Reviewing the Nude’ was a study of iconic nudes, such as Schiele and Klimt, through a contemporary aesthetic. My interest in the sensuality of the female form, without detracting from the essence of being, the core, was of prime importance in these works. The paintings are intended to change the original works aspect to reflect the contemporary attitude towards female form and its apprehension. Monochrome established focus on form using black, white and perhaps a third colour to further emphasize. Elements of movement are intrinsic in giving a substance to the subject through the very technique and process of painting in acrylic paints, optimising their quick drying quality to capture my movements within the work. In this particular painting I wanted to create a more ethereal nude, an abstraction of the original by Schiele 1910

I am an architect and a contemporary fine artist living and working in Hampshire. Born in Nairobi, I graduated as an architect from Nottingham University, worked extensively both in Kenya and in England before establishing my own architectural practice, ‘Rita Sennik Architects’ at the turn of the century. In 2011, I enrolled at Southampton University to pursue my lifelong passion for painting. A recent Fine Art graduate from the Winchester School of Art, I am developing my practice as a painter and a sculptor. My practice explores the emotional dynamics of being a woman, engaging the female form and face to deconstruct established precepts of the nude and portraiture. Using the frame of the gallery, the history of painting, celebrating Modernism, my work realigns itself through process and the materiality of the medium within the context of post-modernism.
