About this artwork
'Feeling Peachy,' is part of a series that plays on the clichés of traditional portraiture; whereby subjects would be photographed in heavily clad garments and jewels, holding exotic fruits and props to showcase their wealth. A twenty-first-century take on what ‘portraiture’ is in the fast paced age of the instant, focusing on the female form. In this series, I’ve increasingly explored ‘crops’ of the portrait; such as an ear, a hand holding fruit,…
props. I think doing this allows the viewer to create a more intimate dialogue with the painting, and more room to imagine what the rest of the portrait might look like beyond the constraints of the canvas.

« I think we’re in an age with social media where we’re saturated with images of the face and I guess painting a portrait slows this down a little bit. »
Mia Cathart is a painter based in the UK whose works have been featured in several group exhibitions throughout the United Kingdom. Her art centers around portraits of women. Cathart works from second-hand imagery, creating tension between familiarity and anonymity. Her most recent pieces 'crop' her subjects, which she believes invites a sense of curiosity in the viewer. She paints using oils on canvas.
