Sarah Albisser
Visual Artist
Te Whanganui-a-tara Wellington
Sarah Albisser’s background as a contemporary dancer and choreographer has had a powerful influence on both her life and her art. She is fascinated by movement and self-expression, which over the past decade has resulted in a collection of striking black-and-white portraits of female faces.
Devoting herself to a unifying theme for so many years has enabled her to explore and experiment with various techniques and materials, including pens, acrylics, perspex and thread. Her art captures form, feeling and evanescent moments in time, and she often leaves a section of the canvas unfinished for the viewer to complete with their own interpretations and imaginations. Sarah has had exhibitions of her work in New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, Los Angeles. Her artworks are now held in private collections around the world.
I am interested in the discipline of simplicity. Over the past three years I have been exploring a more minimal, surreal style as an extension of my other work. What I have realised is that it is easier to fill a space than to leave it empty, but both spaces are equally important and must be balanced carefully. By stripping away the unnecessary, presenting a scenario in a simple manner can give the audience space and a greater freedom to create their own story.
Wellington-based multidisciplinary artist Sarah Albisser explores the expressive potential of line, contrast, and negative space. Working across ink and painting, her compositions often emerge through carefully balanced gestures where form is suggested as much by absence as by mark.
Within Between Light & Line, Albisser’s work reflects the idea of illumination through restraint - where light appears through the tension between dark and light, line and void. Her pieces invite close viewing, revealing how minimal forms can hold surprising depth and quiet presence.
