Artist Statement

Sarra Hochberg works with abstraction, perspective, gesture, color, and movement in the construction of her paintings.  She applies layered paint with a squeegee or a brush, in order to show the labor and history of the paintings. Hochberg’s work references lived experiences, like views from mountaintops or traveling on water. The paintings emphasize the perspective of an aerial view. Hochberg works with acrylic and oil paint on paper and canvas. The scale and planes of perception position the viewer as if looking from above, falling into the artwork.
