Original painting in acrylic on canvas paper.
"Safe from the cold. The feeling of being rescued. From whatever. Cocooned, warmed. I painted this because we all need rescuing sometimes.
Almost exclusively portraying the female form, Julia Blackshaw aims to capture a moment of calm in her paintings, be it of a solitary hour or a figure deep in a dream. With an outline not dissimilar in approach to Alex Katz, Blackshaw gives us a limited backdrop, employing total focus on the women before us. As the viewer, we observe from afar, studying the figures that seem lost in their own world.
