Through painting, drawing and sculpture, Sarah Thibault combines her interests in the spectacle of commerce, ideas surrounding the aesthetics of power and the hedonism of being a painter. Through a representation of French motifs and styles, she investigates the boundaries of novelty, individuality and commercial appeal within the tradition of painting.
