About this artwork

Kerry seeks uplifting images and motifs to capture inspiration in her art, and when she came across this image she was taken by the uplifting sense of rising to the surface - reminiscent of a phoenix rising. With the models hair and dress flowing behind her, she rises to the surface from her underwater world, lifting her head and looking skyward into the light. The bold reds and contrasting teal and blue colours gives a sense that this woman rises… to meet her challenges with energy and passion. An uplifting message for any person breaking free of constraints.

Kerry uses contemporary techniques such as expressionism and pop art to capture her model in contrasting colours of red, teal and blue. In this rectangular composition of an underwater world, the light highlights her face as she rises to the surface.

Painted onto un-stretched canvas, the face of the painting measures 179.5 cm x 118, while the painted canvas is 187.5 x 126cm allowing for a painted edge for stretching.
