SINEAD BRESLIN

Hello Next Up Collector Community!

It gives me great pleasure to introduce you all to this month’s featured artist, Sinead Breslin. I came across her works on Instagram and was immediately struck by their life-like quality, attention to detail, and the all around beauty each work emits from its use of color, texture, and light.

Her playful works brighten up the spaces in which they inhabit. The attention to detail, to individual patterns, to color blocking elements, and to the people themselves in her works are something extremely unique and intriguing to me. One gets the feeling that behind each work there is a deep, intimate story of the individual she features. From facial expressions to body language juxtaposed against colorful backgrounds, the works of Sinead are something I find truly spectacular.

As described on Marc Straus website: “The work that Breslin creates can be both playful and painful. Her openness to new experiences reinforces her curiosity about her subjects and also creates a foundation that propels her determination to document her impressions of the world around her. As a painter early in her career, she manages to engage her sitters and unsheathe them. Drawing from memory and photographic images, she translates her subjects and the small pockets of the world they inhabit into vibrant painted scenes.”

It remains evident in all of Sinead’s works that her travels (in particular those described on the page above as the US, Mexico, Russia, Italy, the UK, and Morocco), as well as her playful spirit, inspire many of her artistic endeavors. Marc Straus website details the individuals we see appearing in some of her works: “Breslin has comprised works that feature recurring characters, such as Luda or herself, and brief acquaintances such as Arfus. Taken as a whole, her body of work becomes a kind of Twenty-First Century travelogue, a diary of sorts, charting and documenting Breslin’s life and interactions around the globe.”
