Sarah Jessica Adams’
paintings combine bold colors with moody faces in the show Hue Possibilities.
Sarah’s colorful work focuses on facial emotions. She finds the
human face infinitely fascinating as it has the ability to be ambiguous
and revealing simultaneously. The emotion conveyed on canvas is directly
affected by where each facial feature is placed and then how they visually
interact with each other on the canvas.
The paintings attempt to depict emotions, not to identify a specific
person or specific storyline. By keeping the composition to a single
facial expression, the viewer is forced to interact and interpret only
the emotion. As there is no background defined, the viewer is free to
apply the emotion to any context.
Several of the faces have been painted two or more times using different
colors. The use of different color combinations inform the emotion conveyed
and can influence how the same image can take on different qualities
when painted in another color.
The paintings are intentionally limited by a restrictive approach. The
series adheres to a single theme and palette. Sarah believes her technique
and practice has improved with this focused and disciplined approach
to creating.
