           Painter, Sarah Creasman
       November 14th -December 29th
        Meet the artist November 21st

I refer to this body of work as my “Candle Series”. Initially
I began painting candles because I was fascinated by
their quality of intense and changing warm light. As I
continued to paint them, I asked myself why this subject
matter was becoming a theme for me. I grew up with a
mother who refused to use any overhead or fluorescent
lights in our home. I am not sure I could count how many
candles fill her house. I can remember staring at flickering
flames and being mesmerized. Having this in mind, these
paintings began to move away from being strictly
representational to a more ambiguous focus of light
sources relating to one another since this atmosphere
was what I found so intriguing.

Painters like Georges de la Tour and Caravaggio were a
couple of my first influences for this series. I have always
been attracted to how they both employ a strong light
source to describe the rest of the painting. Gerhard
Richter's candle series is another resource for me,
although he handles the subject matter much differently than I have. Finally, paintings by Laura
Harris have recently begun to affect my work because of their ambiguity and bold palette.

Currently I am a senior at the University of Arkansas. I will graduate in May of 2009 with a
Bachelors of Fine Art. I started this series my sophomore year of college. All were completed
outside of classes and assignments, giving me the freedom to simply paint. The series may
have more personal significance versus a conceptual one. Nonetheless, they feel like home to me.
