Freya Sharp - Artist Spotlight
Freya Sharp is a London based Artist, she makes portraits and abstract works on paper and fabrics. She uses materials such as oil pastel and charcoal, chosen for their textures, malleability and instant strength of colour.
There is a tension between vulnerability and strength, expressed in Freya’s portraiture, which is always made from life, with the sitter or a mirror. The portrayal of women and femaleness, including feminine sexuality is a perpetual theme in her work, as well as an exploration of lesbian and queer identities.
Real life, human connection is the focus, with an interest in connecting to previous generations and ancestors, through referring to the symbolism of the past.
