ABOUT - Sarah Kane

Born in London Ontario, Sarah Kane is a self-taught artist working to produce a collection that she hopes will evoke both inspiration and admiration. Sarah strives to bridge the divide between dream and reality through Escapism by producing images that create a surreal escape from the viewer’s daily routine. The admiration for dark and dreamy representations of life has brought her work to the forefront of her career; seeking to bring together the essence of acrylic’s candid movement with graphite’s scripted monologue of dark and light.

One thing is always unchanged, the haunting element in her work that seems to dance upon the surface from one acrylic painting to the next. A sort of semi-surreal undertone she mixes with every stroke of realism, to produce a state of phantasm in reality.
Pencil work is no longer a preliminary form of art, in which an artist prepares for their masterpiece; but rather graphite is a delicate medium Sarah uses to bring out the spirit trapped in all of us.
