Amy Talluto "Huldra"
Black & White Gallery / Project Space
This event has ended.
This exhibition features meticulously executed paintings and drawings, which characteristically for Talluto engage with depicting quiet and expansive natural worlds. These new works continue Talluto’s interest in using trees and forests as an inexhaustible reservoir of forms for her investigation of the interrelationship of movement and stillness, of rhythm and cacophony, of contextual claims and disorientation. The works are at once sumptuous and subtle, enigmatic and disarmingly stark. Their overflowing vitality, their unflinching zapping between colors and forms, their constant changes of tempo, their gestures and experimental arrangement make painting the theme.
An artist with a uniquely compelling visual language, Talluto keeps ducking and weaving to avoid being pinned down and to remain inscrutable overall. Thus the paintings and drawings oscillate between the mysterious and strange. The absence of any great central perspective, of feeling at home in a province of meaning reveal the movement towards the maximum possible openness in the artist’s work. Viewers will be struck both by the precision and the mastery of this young painter making use of different techniques, and her quest for new forms and stylistics, a constant need for experimentation and development.
