Tyra Tingleff: Imagine it Wet…

About

Presented on towering canvases, Tingleff’s immense fields of color twist and marble into a glorious arrangement of pigments and shapes. Within each microcosmic work surges countless layers that glide into one heteroglossic surface. Through her careful and ardent selection of colors, Tingleff explores the material and emotive thresholds of oil paint through non-figurative painting. Shrewd titles, which can be read as poetic fragments or witty retorts, echo Tingleff’s distinctive position as an artist inventing her own approach to abstract painting within the genre’s historical framework. Maintaining the ambiguous nature of Tingleff’s abstraction, the titles offer glimpses into the artist’s thoughts and feelings while still allowing space for independent interpretation.
