Continuum | Sarah Spackman | 20th Anniversary Exhibition
Sarah Wiseman Gallery is pleased to announce Continuum, an upcoming solo exhibition by Sarah Spackman, marking a significant milestone in the artist’s long-standing relationship with the gallery. This exhibition celebrates 20 years of representation between Sarah Spackman and Sarah Wiseman Gallery.
Continuum brings together recent still life paintings by Sarah Spackman, reflecting both the sustained evolution of her painting practice and her enduring commitment to close observation. Her work explores themes of resonance and perception, examining how colour, form, and placement generate emotional and visual responses. Through a meticulous, traditional painting practice, Spackman sculpts colours across the surface that vibrate against one another, creating subtle tonal shifts that articulate form and spatial presence.
Through her masterful handling of paint, Sarah reveals the enduring beauty of the everyday, elevating ordinary objects through sustained observation and refined technique. This close attention gives each object a distinct character and physical weight, transforming them into sites of quiet intensity. What may initially appear as a simple interior still life becomes a contemplative meditation on perception, presence, and the wider world.
Sarah Spackman graduated from Byam Shaw School of Art in 1977, and then from Camberwell School of Art in 1981. Since 1986, she has worked full time as an artist, earning herself critical acclaim and numerous collectors. Sarah Spackman's work is in the collection of the Allied Irish Bank. Her work has appeared in the Jerwood Drawing competition exhibition, the RBA Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, the NEAC, the ROI, the Discerning Eye Exhibitions, and Whitechapel Gallery. Sarah Spackman is an elected member of the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) and Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI).
