ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This piece was inspired by the artist's trip to South Africa. There she observed birds that migrate to the Southern Hemisphere from the North. Since the artist grew up in Latvia, she was "surprised" and entertained to see the same birds she new and loved in her childhood in the North, spending time in warm African weather. She was so impressed and suddenly understood the travel patterns of these common birds in a very different light. She started the piece on burlap attached to her studio wall. Later the piece"migrated" from the wall to the canvas.

« 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.
