Morrisons' Mirror - print of acrylic painting by Holly Hobbs

ARTIST STATEMENT: Morrisons' mirror: a typical, and rather unassuming supermarket beverage cooler. My aim was to focus and highlight the distorted shapes and changeable colours that can be seen when items, such as bottles, are reflected. These reflections are hugely dismissed through the blind eye yet with a closer look the twisted shapes, colours and indistinguishable printed text can be depicted and my aim for this piece was to emphasize these amazing, deformed features. Under artificial lighting the pigmentation and highlights are emphasized, thus making the bottles more appealing. ABOUT THE ARTIST: This piece is Shortlisted in the 2021 Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize in Guernsey. Holly created this piece aged 15 while a student at Ladies College.
