‘Seeing Double’, Sarah Fenwick Exhibition
A new Sarah Fenwick exhibition has just been launched as part of a two-year group photography exhibition held by the Cyprus Photographic Society under the auspices of the Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP).
Under the theme ‘Seeing Double’, Sarah is exhibiting the photographs she takes of her artworks, offering the viewers two 2-D images, one of the 2-D photograph and one of the 2-D painting. While most photography creates a 2-D image of something in 3-D, an artist’s photograph of their painting is a blend of realism and abstraction, falling into a category of its own.
Sarah comments: “Photographs are the main way I share my art online on Facebook and other social media, and since I started painting, I’ve learned that taking a photo of an art piece is art in itself. I was so pleased and honoured that the Cyprus Photographic Society under the auspices of the International Federation of Photographic Art invited me to take part in an online exhibition of my art photos.”

About Sarah Fenwick
The artist, jazz singer, and writer Sarah Fenwick was born in Kenya and has a multicultural background with roots in Cyprus and the UK. Sarah lives in Germany after spending many years in Cyprus.
Her experience as a jazz singer inspires her paintings with musical themes and she is keen to transform the big ideas of life and the Universe into visual art.
“I’m interested in artistic crossovers, where different elements become part of a whole performance. The crossroads where a face becomes part of a landscape and a tree or building become part of a dance.”
