ABOUT THE ARTWORK
View at The Other Art Fair Sydney, 19-22 March 2020 Steve Salo, ‘Saint Agatha’ after Francesco Guarino (1640), oil on canvas, 100 x 100 cm Woman of grace, self-determination and faith. Patron saint of breast cancer patients and nurses. I began this painting using an old technique that the masters used, called verdacccio. The mix of black, white and yellow pigments was used to define the tonal values, forming a complete monochromatic underpainting. Colour layers were then added. I contemplated the contemporary elements for over a year until one day I just knew I had to add a red cross. The cross can represent many things in Agatha’s life – her strong belief, a protective shield of inner strength and defiance, the violent act committed on her, and remembrance. Painting in the cross felt brave, it was the final stage and afterwards I sat in my couch for about an hour just looking at her knowing the painting was now complete.

Steve Salo
Australia
Steve Salo is an Australian contemporary artist, best known for his emotive portraiture and expressive landscape paintings. His works are in private collections in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, UAE, Ireland, the UK, Europe, USA and Canada. Steve's profile continues to grow, with paintings shortlisted in prestigious prizes across Australia and awarded a prize in Florence, Italy. Artist residencies in Hämeenkyrö Finland and in Portsea Australia. "My paintings speak for me and say a lot more than I ever could put into words. They can depict everything from a moment in time to the weight of the modern world, to contemporary reimagining of works by master painters. I enter the studio and a catharsis takes place, I feel the same when I connect with someone else’s artwork, music or performance. Art has the power to free the mind and connect us to humanity, even if only for a moment."
