Paintings

Beginning in 2024 as part of her studies in Fine Art, painting has remained an integral part of Isaacs' artistic practice. Beginning with textured expressions of acrylic and oil paint on wood, she has broadened her practice to encompass abstracted notions of nonsensicality, using the natural world as a stage. Some of her key pieces to date have been part of her final year University exhibition as she works towards obtaining her degree. Producing ongoing works of the still life genre in both oil and acrylic, Isaacs' paintings depict bizarre scenes of the uncanny and strange, the beauty of the natural world, and the intangible presence of femininity. Her large-scale painting 'Bon Sang’ is the culmination of these pieces, alongside 'Venus', and her still-life artwork featuring ripe vine tomatoes on a deep blue surface. Her pieces tread the line between absurdity and the lawless nature of existence. Using plant forms, insects and the vegetation as representations of the physical body, she illustrates disturbing narratives within each painting, like a play upon a stage.
