With a surname like Dicks and a mothers maiden name of Cock, Sarah felt combining the two made the perfect name for her artistic endeavours! Fusing her love of colour, surrealism and just sticking eyes on anything and everything, the artwork of Cock Dicks uses pop culture references and a vibrant colour palette to explore both the world around her and the inner workings of her mind.
With a background in performance design, Cock Dicks likes creating on a variety of scales and using different mediums, be it small fugly portraits or large scale murals, gouache paintings or bizarre larger than life costumes. Always with a sense of wonder and whimsy, her aim is to make you smile or perhaps even think a little deeper.
