About this artwork
Rising to the Sun 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. This painting was focusing on the reflections of light on the body and…
the tranquility of the water as she rises to the surface, trying to capture the physical memory of the warmth of sun on your skin under water.
Born and raised in New Zealand, Amy Devlin has lived in the UK for 20 years, first in London, then since 2015 in rural Kent.
Amy’s current body of work focuses on bodies in water and bodies of water. “I love the exploration, chasing the physical memory of being underwater. That tranquil feeling of the sun on your body even through the water.

« 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.
