The painting ‘What Lies Beneath’ depicts the iconic event of the wildebeest migration as they cross the uncertain river waters. Using high-flow metallic acrylics for the swirling background, the animals are painted in impasto oil, the movement of them leaping over each other represented by the geometric lines.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Hannah Shergold is a self-taught colourist working primarily in oils and acrylics. Drawing on her university degree in zoology and veterinary anatomy, she developed her unique style whilst serving as a helicopter pilot with the British Army in Kenya. Hannah uses high-flow acrylics and thick, impasto oil paint to bring an abstract, geometric element to her work. By dragging the paint through itself she embraces the ‘happy accidents’ that add layering and depth to the work, leaving much of the image to be found or filled in by the viewer’s own mind.
