This figurative artwork depicts a gathering of men moving through the space. The central figure stops and poses. He is demanding the attention of the others who, meanwhile, seem oblivious. The vibrant colours and strong forms convey a certain eroticism and make this an excellent hero piece. As often happens, the image emerged from random shapes and markings that I had made. The painting will say different things to different people. I see it as a celebration of sexuality.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Sharon is a visual artist from Melbourne, best known for her bold use of color and abstracted figuration. Working predominantly with acrylic paint, she also likes to experiment with oils, pastels, ink and collage. Themes explored through Sharon's work include human rights, social justice, mental illness and feminism.
Sharon says "My work is influenced by many things across the personal, the political and the aesthetic. Whilst I paint landscapes, portraits and abstract paintings, I am most particularly interested in figurative works. Body language, story telling and the diversity of human experience are all themes you will find in my work."
In 2018 she was selected for an international artist residency at Chateau d' Orquevaux in France where she worked on a series of paintings exploring female identity and its intersection with language. Many of the works from this period were exhibited in Melbourne in her "Falling Women" Exhibition. "
Sharon's paintings are held in private collections across Australia, in the UK, France , Singapore, Canada and the USA. 3 of her paintings are held in the permanent collection at Chateau d' Orquevaux.
She is the artist in residence at Liquid Amber Press, a publishing company that works at the intersection of visual arts and poetry, and is represented by Kelli Lundberg Art.
