Earth Cycles by Sarrita King
Title: Earth Cycles
ID: 10042143
Medium: Acrylic on Belgian Linen
Size: 60x60 cm
Artist: Sarrita King
Drawing on the teachings of her influential father William King Jungala, Sarrita recalls the philosophy he taught her – that everything in life is circular. There is no beginning and no end; the connection between people and the world around them in ongoing.
Sarrita echoes her father’s depiction of the Earth Cycles with the repetition of concentric circles across the canvas. The circles and dots identify the connections and relationships found throughout life. Sarrita dots her circles with a stick heavily laded with paint. The paint is so thick that the dots hold form and often contain peaks where the stick left the canvas. The result is prickly, textural and 3-D.
Sarrita usually only uses white and another bold colour, such as red, that slowly bleeds its way across the canvas. True to their title, these paintings are full of youthfulness and provide a sharp contemporary aesthetic.
