TANYA SMART...
is an emerging Brisbane artist who uses
emotional idioms to explore and remark
on personal and interrelated identity,
comforting our inner child on its path
of discovery and release.
After completing an arts degree in media
communications,she employs commercial
design principles, her distinguishing palette
of colours and strong metaphorical
compositions to create her latest works.
By drawing attention to otherness, she
utilises her spiritual beliefs and
cultural understandings to create
meditations and commentary adapted to
today's sentiment,
“My paintings are mirrors of my mental
and emotional patterns, they illustrate my
experiences, my relationships and my life”.
|
This series utilises strong forms and bold
colours to demonstrate the strength and
power of yoga.
The two-dimensional silhouettes allot focus
to form and line work.
The style is best described as minimalist
expressionism, but does not move towards
abstraction.
"These paintings aren’t so much a beautiful
narrative like some of my older works,
but rather a narrative about strength,
truth, justice, and power.
These paintings do not express ideals of
love, but boldly and forcefully state so ham
“I am that” as the yogini quests for power,
prestige, mind and sense control.”
