Sara Dobson

With a background in the Arts and Social Sciences, and graduating with a 1st Class Honours Degree in History and Sociology; I chose to develop a fusion of acrylic portraiture, inspired by the current political climate and cross culturalism, which looked to represent the changing nature and variation of culture globally. My work is largely inspired by complex underlying political thought patterns and processes; thoughts illustrated as a deformed abstract form which seek to address the complex mental states manufactured by media. Gold underlying tones are purposefully used to enhance the subject and reflect the soul as a precious metal, in order to identify with the emotive composition of the subjects.
