ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This painting was started during a live painting session at a jazz concert at Fulton Street Collective in Chicago. There were two bands on the bill, so the artist prepared the background by dividing piece of wood in two on a diagonal, painting each triangle a different color. The idea was to use each part for one band, which was actually an impossible task. However this type of decisions are always fluid. They serve as a direction or an idea, that may be modified at any stage of the process. Wasserman kept working on this piece in her studio, rotating the panel again and again. At a certain point she decided on the "diamond" orientation for this piece, which created a horizon and turned the painting into a landscape. The horizon and path-like lines that appear here connect this music-inspired painting to the Aboriginal sand paintings.

« Art making is an asynchronous diary of daily events. The process is extreme and the result is surprising. » Tamara Wasserman is an artist based in the United States whose paintings have been featured in solo and group exhibitions nationally. She describes her most recent works as resulting from the fusion of observation with emotion. Omitting the details of faithful observation, Wasserman concentrates on the essentials, allowing "intense emotion to find its free abstracted expression". She creates using oils, acrylics, oil pastels, and charcoal on canvas or wood. Tamara was born in Riga, Latvia, and raised in Israel where she graduated from the Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem. Tamara is a visual artist, performer and writer. Her work is in private collections in the US, Israel, Switzerland and England. Tamara has exhibited in galleries of New York City, Chicago, Boston, Tel-Aviv, and Ann Arbor, Michigan. Tamara’s studio is at Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago. Wasserman's artistic family includes: Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Paul Gauguin, and Edvard Munch. Her work is deeply influenced by early Surrealism and DaDa.
