Sarah Alice Moran’s magic paintings conjure a primal feminine force, exploring darkness in rainbows and the comforting presence of ghosts. The artist bleeds and soaks pigments onto unprimed canvas to create her compositions, and often overlays flat iconography on top of realist scenes that feature lots of depth. Combining humor with the macabre—as well as ancient and contemporary references—Moran’s work seeks to redefine power and strength by highlighting moments of intuition, communication and contemplation.
