Sara Bright’s Contemporary Frescoes

Much of Sarah Bright’s work is done in gouache and water media on paper. In an attempt to achieve a similar matte and absorbent quality for her painting, and after much experimentation, she hit upon traditional fresco mural techniques, which incorporate painting with pigments ground into water on a wet plaster ground. The creation of each surface involves the sifting of sand, the mixing of plaster, stretching of burlap and then applying 2-3 coats of plaster. The final intonico is applied, and the actual painting begins, the painting must resolve quickly, but for all her spontaneity, bright achieves a weighty, sculptural quality with these works, that come across like stone tablets on the wall.
