Lot Essay

Sophie is a passionate artist whose primary mediums include oil paint, watercolour, and pencil. Living in a more urban environment, Sophie finds inspiration in the natural world, often venturing into the countryside to capture the essence of animals, wildlife, and landscapes. These excursions allow Sophie to bring the beauty of nature back to their daily environment, creating a sense of ongoing connection to the countryside.

In addition to landscapes, Sophie has a profound passion for portraiture, particularly using oil paints. Inspired by the work of Elizabeth Peyton, Sophie's portraits often depict scenes from films, reflecting a deep love for cinema, with a particular focus on horror. These works aim to evoke a sense of discomfort and unease, to explore the darker aspects of the human psyche. This unique combination of interests results in a diverse body of work that ranges from tranquil natural scenes to evocative cinematic moments.

For Sophie, art is a form of escapism from the mundane, offering a window into the beauty and complexity of both the natural world and human experience.
