About this artwork

This piece forms part of the Mini series.

Smaller in size, but still exploring the same themes, gloss and light and the female gaze.

This is a representative of a gymnast in accordance with the artist's idea of a type. It is not a real person but the idea of that type.

This non-reality is reflected in the gloss, shine and smooth surface, with emphasis created by the black background. The hair and clothes are painterly to show the mark of the… hand and details show swift brushwork against smooth surface.

The expression of the gymnast is intriguing and further enhance by dramatic lighting.

This is on board, and signed on the back.

« I’m very interested in how we see other people, as types, and I like to show a non-reality through a glossy finish. »

Sarah McGinity is an artist based in the United Kingdom whose paintings have been exhibited in England and Germany. Her figurative works are not portraits of real people, rather, they are her concept of what a "type" looks like. For McGinity, the gaze is of the utmost importance, and her distinctive compositions convey the "looked at female looking back".
