ABOUT THE ARTWORK

When she has some spare time, Ta is an avid reader. She recently read the Thai edition of Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova. It's sheer brilliance led her to curate her 'Goddess' collection. Many goddesses are hanging on walls all over the world. Goddesses have for centuries been linked to virtues such as beauty, love, sexuality, motherhood, and fertility. They are the link that unites mythological divine worlds and humans. This Goddess dreams of her lover, the most powerful Greek God, Zeus. He presents himself to her in the form of a swan. Ta says of this Goddess, "I wanted the painting to appear as a dream as if you were looking at someone having a dream and wondering what is happening, is that a swan coming to take her or is it all just a dream?".

Ta Byrne is a Thai artist who lives and works on the beautiful island of Koh Samui, just off the south coast of Thailand. Her Oil Paintings . are vibrant, eye-catching and packed with a sense of fun and humour. Ta takes humans as her focal point in her Figurative Painting but abstracts these figures by distorting them and using a cartoonish style to create a more humorous feel. While her work is mostly representational, she incorporates Surrealist elements in many of her paintings, making her one of the most exciting artists working in Thailand today. Ta comes from humble beginnings, living out her childhood on the rural outskirts of Bangkok as a farmer's daughter. During her teen years, she worked sewing shirts in a Bangkok sweatshop, and it was during this time that she met an old street artist who invited her to his studio. This sparked her desire to become an artist, and since then, she has gone on to produce Abstract and Cubist paintings that have received international acclaim from art connoisseurs.
