Wet Paint w/ artist Sachi Rome
Sachi Rome returns to the Studio Noize podcast to talk about her new work and her show “Portraits of the In Between”. She’s been working on her new body of work called Anything But Brushes in which she tries to capture spiritual energy in her abstract portraits. Sachi tells us about her residency with the Creatives Project and how she has been working during this pandemic. We explore her work and go through some of the “accidents” that lead to some of the best pieces in her new series. It’s always fun to catch up with the fam! It’s the Noize!
Sachi's work is a reflection of her obsession with color and the human face. It centers primarily on the black female giving her agency and empowering her with ecofeminism. Her images reflect her being at one with nature and being nature (she is) there is an otherness, a mysticism there. Elements of color and collage through the use of mixed media are also thematic components of the work.
Sachi has studied under the critically acclaimed African American artist Louis Delsarte, in Atlanta Ga. She is a painter and mixed media artist exploring the idea of memory, portraiture, and the dignity of using and giving new life to discarded things. The use of the Bible and hymnal pages from her grandmother's collection are a driving force in many of the images she creates. Sachi moves from abstract to figurative in an ever-changing journey to create portraits of those lost and unknown.
