Born in 1992, using old master oil painting techniques, Sara Birns creates surrealistic portraits where physical features are tampered and morphed. Cues we use to recognize a person or animal have been melted apart, then reassembled through Birns’ maniacal attention to detail, returning veins, pores and folds of skin back to form, into an amalgamation of the physical, manifesting inner emotions anew. Her work has a substantial track record of solo exhibitions at galleries across the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, Asia, and Australia.
