Sacha Newley - Portraits:

‘The painted portrait continues to be vital and relevant because of the intimate relationship between artist and sitter conveyed by paint. The subject’s inner life is apparent in the movement of the brush. The artist has the unique power to imagine reality rather than being its mere servant, bringing an extra dimension to the portrait that can be revelatory. The painted portrait celebrates the human presence on many levels and puts the subject in touch with a chain of being that passes down the centuries.’
