ABOUT THE ARTWORK

What has been compelling about revisiting and re-conceiving the work of the early post-mortem daguerreotypists is their oblique yet inescapable continuity with our own experience. Familial care and concern, love and loss remain timeless rites of passage, whilst the transience of temporal existence remains inescapable. The seeming alchemy of the Victorian daguerreotype, captured by the earliest cameras and fixed onto prepared plates is as unique as any drawing. My project is to discover if these once private heirlooms might be made to speak of the more universal human themes of longing and limitation.

Winner of The Threadneedle Prize, and 2019 winner of the London and the South East Regional Prize at ING Discerning Eye Exhibition. Sheila Wallis brings the skills of a traditional figurative painter to bear on a wide spectrum of contemporary and historical subject matter. Cinematic film stills, photojournalism, boxing bouts, post mortem daguerreotypes and Victorian asylum photographs have all inspired a meticulous critique of lens-based imagery, inviting reconsideration of the public and the private, fiction and fact, the dispassionate lens and the hand of the painter. Drawing on her experience of growing up catholic in Derry City in the north of Ireland during the height of the Troubles, Wallis’ work insinuates political awareness and redemptive creative transformation in equal measure. Sheila Wallis has also won the Winsor and Newton Painting Prize, the Watts Painting Prize and In 2014 was awarded the City and Guilds of London MA Fine Art Principal’s Prize. Sheila lives with her husband in London, and works from her South London studio
