Art House Productions, proudly present: “Reconstructions” by Artist Sarah J. Mueller.
Sarah’s recent work challenges traditional portraiture by removing its fundamental purpose – to capture and honor a specific subject. This series of paintings emerges solely from remembered encounters with strangers. In doing so, she is experimenting in discovering whether a meaningful presence can emerge when working purely from memory, without reference materials or intent to form an accurate likeness. The method pushes against her formal training in figurative drawing and portraiture, and loosens up her hand to allow abstraction and gesture to take precedence over precision.
Deliberately obscuring identities and recognizable features, these works shift attention to the energy and atmosphere that emerge between artist and subject. Dramatic, intense palettes, marked by bold tonal shifts and contrasts, create a sense of emotional tension, clouded perception, and projected anxieties.
