Artiste basée à New York, son œuvre explore les personnes et leurs manières particulières. Ses personnages semblent rayonner d'une innocence idéalisée, pourtant leurs yeux trahissent une sagesse acquise à la dure. S'inspirant des souvenirs d'enfance et des expériences de vie, elle crée des images à la fois stimulantes et séduisantes. Les personnes et leurs relations constituent le thème central qui traverse son art.
Tara McPherson returns with another stunning art book! The chaotic wonders of science, mythology and the power of the feminine form are at the core of this stunning art collection. Wandering Luminations: The Art of Tara McPherson showcases the artist's most recent and ambitious creations from that solo exhibition, as well as works from her I Know It By Heart and Supernova series of paintings.
The compelling paintings and posters of Tara McPherson are a tour-de-force of creative tension, at once heartfelt and heartbreaking. Creating art about people and their odd ways, recalling many issues from childhood and adult life experience, McPherson creates images that are thought-provoking and seductive. Tara's array of work includes numerous gig posters for rock bands, including Green Day, Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie, and advertising and editorial illustrations for a diverse group of clients. Her prints and paintings have been exhibited in galleries all over the world. Lonely Heart is the first printed collection of McPherson's work.
Tara McPherson asks what might it mean to design-from conception-digital tools and applications that emerge from contextual concerns of cultural theory and from a feminist concern for difference. This question leads to the Vectors lab, which for a dozen years has experimented with digital scholarship at the intersection of theory and praxis.
