A unique fusion of photography and painting, Isca Greenfield-Sanders’ work creates a rich dialogue between abstraction and figuration, mechanical reproduction and handcraft, narration and form. Appropriating images from anonymous family estates, Greenfield-Sanders fashions meditative narratives exploring themes of nostalgia, memory and collective ideals. Her use of digital media, combined with the traditional craft of oil painting, creates a set of paradoxes mirroring contemporary lives and longings in an increasingly mechanised world. Each luminous canvas belies a complex process that begins with a vintage 35mm transparency and ends with an oil painting, and involves two changes of scale and medium as the photographic images are broken down and rebuilt as the artist’s own. These emotive scenes of people engaging in leisure activities have a timeless, universal feel and prompt a wealth of intriguing questions around the veracity of the photographic document, the authority of the painting and the nature of this liminal area where these two mediums intersect.
