About this artwork
Cetus is an original painting by Amy Devlin. My process starts with taking the photographs I work from, I like to experiment with angles and light in the photographing. Every inch of the canvas has multiple layers on to build up the feeling of light, water and body, every layer focusing in on more detail until there is a balance of tight detail and watery fluidity.
Amy says " Every summer I do a number of photo shoots and then spend the rest of the… year exploring them from different angles. This painting is part of a series I am doing focusing on the sparkling water and movement in the swimming pool looking from the top down into the pool. I loved the contrast between the top of her head breaking through and the sparkling water and distorted body."

« I love exploration, chasing the physical memory of being underwater. That tranquil feeling of the sun on your body, even through the water, being at one but also entirely separate. »
Amy Devlin's artistic process begins with taking photographs, where she experiments with angles and light, examining the distortion created above and below the waterline. The New Zealand born artist, who currently resides in the United Kingdom, does not intend to create photorealist paintings. Instead, she focuses on the fluidity of her subject and prefers the texture of paint, through which she can add other dimensions of depth to the image.
