Tamar Zinn "Behind Closed Eyes 19" -- Abstract Oil Painting on Panel

2019

About the Item

Tamar Zinn Behind Closed Eyes 19, 2019 oil on wood panel 33 x 28 in. (zinn1024) This colorful abstract oil painting on panel features layered, painterly swathes of red and blue that blend together to create subtle color shifts and an atmospheric aura, anchored by matte black rectangles on the top and bottom of the composition. "My process is leisurely and reflective, but I do not rely on a system or set of rules to develop each painting. Forms are loosely painted in, adjusted, perhaps eliminated, only to re-emerge in later stages of the painting. There is no pre-conceived endpoint in either composition or palette. In some paintings, the more tonal palette reflects a decision to develop a meditative space, while the more spirited palette in other paintings often mirrors my response to a piece of music. Areas are built up and sanded down — to lessen the finality of the paint layer, as well as to reveal what was hidden below the surface. Although the paintings are structured with defined blocks of color, it is my intention to diminish that sense of certainty and put the blocks in play. Ultimately, reaching the end point of each painting is about finding the just right balance between activity and calm, between reasoned decision making and intuition." --Tamar Zinn
