When I paint, my mind likes to imagine other things. On the other side, beneath the surface of the canvas is a wall, a barrier, a divide between this side of the imagination and another side of so called reality. I imagine the one side being calm, tranquil, and salubriously sedentary, the other not so! The context of my work in this series explores the subtext of sublimity where beauty is in contrast to the traditional sense of description as being equally guttural, visceral, and carnal. A place where ghostly shadows of tonality twirl, swirl and churn chaotically through rivers of viscous colour, trails of bright ebbing energy, and cascading clouds of ethereal translucent light.

UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUAL Tay Dall's work embodies an energy and passion with imaginative mediums, subjects, themes, colours, and styles that continue to surpass all expectations of the current art trends South Africa has to offer. Her work, when viewed in person is unique and unforgettable as can be attested by the hundreds of private and corporate collectors who have invested in her artistic vision. Born in Cape Town in 1966, Tay began doing art classes at the early age of 8 years old, finally finishing her education with a Bachelors in Fine Arts from the Michaelis School of Art at the University of Cape Town. In 1988 Tay immigrated with her family to Los Angeles, California where she worked in the film industry, studied computer graphics, and began exhibiting her work in various venues in her free time. Her eminent success in America led to a full-time career as an artist. Tay Dall's art has been shown in more than 90 exhibitions throughout the world. Her work is represented by over 30 local and international galleries including one of her own signature galleries, The Tay Modern-Hermanus. Needing to be closer to her roots, Tay returned to South Africa permanently in 1995 where she currently paints from her studio in the beautiful seaside village of Hermanus in the Western Cape. "As a working artist I am also an entrepreneur, so integrity is paramount in both disciplines of my career. Staying honest and true is the only way to be taken seriously and survive as a woman, as a careerist and as an artist. Appreciation and respect is the ultimate reward for my hard work.
