About the Item
This is a one of a kind original sculpture by San Diego artist, Cheryl Tall. Its dimensions are 14" x 32" x 12". A Certificate of Authenticity will follow the delivery of this piece. This sculpture is four pieces that fit together.
Cheryl Tall's work is mainly focused on the relationships between people and their surroundings, especially their homes or workplaces. Tall's subject matter often includes architectural and figurative elements.
Ranging in size from 7 inches to 7 feet, Tall’s works are constructed from a variety of mediums, primarily clay, tile, and paint. By using finger marks in the clay or paint, and layers upon layers of glaze, paint, paper, or found materials, she creates a richly complex surface on the pieces that echo the appearance of primeval artifacts or folk items.
The artist’s inspiration from both contemporary and ancient art is evident in her works; myths and dream imagery are a recurring theme. Her subject matter often includes architectural and figurative elements. Many of her paintings depict full scenes of activity, with a cast of several characters and multiple interactions happening at once. The way that individuals – neighbors, lovers, extended families, and community members – interrelate with each other is a visual and thematic focus in her works. These crucial social bonds, which drive everyday life, are emphasized and celebrated.
