There is a subtle but relentless quest for beauty that O’Shea consistently delivers in her work.
Primarily inspired by her need to empathise with her subjects, O’Shea brings that moment of connection to the canvas to reveal what she has witnessed; the beauty of intimacy.
Throughout her work O’Shea redefines beauty as a look, a posture or a moment of confidence or peacefulness. Seeking this knowledge of the subject, she commands her work to reveal an expression that infers its rightness of being.
The beauty to be found in ‘rightness of being’ is paramount to O’Sheas quiet and immense power to witness the subjects need to be seen, felt or understood.
These subjects are sirens to a wordless world. A place where intuition and sense are heightened. Communicating through the body and canvas, O’Shea transports us to the silent revelation of a beautiful world, a deep intimacy with speechless compassion.
