“Luminations”
Sarah West

Sarah West is an artist from Columbus, Georgia who has been living and working in
Birmingham for the past 5 years. Her vivid and detailed oil paintings fuse multiple references
within a single composition, combining digitally-influenced abstraction, landscapes and Early
Renaissance paintings. In referencing Renaissance compositions and alluding to digital spaces,
West explores the alignment between spiritual narratives and a mystical subtext of developing
technologies, prompting reflection on a collective and ancient concern with enlightenment, the
ineffable and the divine. More at TheSarahWest.com
