About Latitia Yhap
Laetitia Yhap moved to Hastings in the late 1960s. A few years later the fishing community there became her main source of subject matter. Both the frame and the shape of this painting are integral parts of the work: "The shape I construct as a surface to work on is crucial, as that is what makes it possible to compose the painting or helps it to compose itself." She has further evoked the fisherman's world by adding actual sand into the corners of the work.
