Sarah Faux’s Heavy Bloom (2018) is a painting that blurs the boundaries between figuration and abstraction, using gestural lines and translucent layers to evoke the body and its sensations. Dominated by vibrant hues of pink, orange, and yellow, the composition suggests a reclining figure partially obscured by a large hand or floral form, inviting interpretations of touch, intimacy, and inner experience. Faux’s fluid, painterly language—here applied in a sensual, almost surreal palette—is characteristic of her broader practice, which explores embodiment and desire through fragmented, emotive perspectives grounded in feminist and psychological inquiry.
