About the Item
As an artist, TIFFANY CALVERT applies contemporary painting techniques to historical imagery. Her recent work uses the seventeenth-century Dutch floral still life as a springboard for exploring the shifting nature of human perception. The traditional Dutch still-life often contains an abundance of visual information for the viewer to process: texture, color, sheen, and finish. Widely popular and highly prized among collectors, these painted floral arrangements were meticulously detailed compositions, whether lavish or simple, and many featured insects and animals hidden among the foliage. The paintings on display here are oil paintings on printed reproductions of a work by Dutch artist P. W. Windtraken. Calvert has intervened by matching paint to Windtraken’s original color palette, camouflaging it within the picture. Other techniques such as gridding, fragmentation, and image reversal serve to obstruct and interrupt the viewer’s perception of the image. Like a digital “glitch” or a scrambled transmission, Calvert generates paintings that are suspended in a moment, simultaneously on the verge of disintegration or cohesion. Tiffany Calvert is an artist-in-residence at the Speed Art Museum for 2018-2019, studying works in the permanent collection with Erika Holmquist-Wall, Chief Curator and Mary and Barry Bingham, Sr.
Tiffany Calvert's work has been shown internationally including Lawrimore Project in Seattle, E.TAY Gallery in New York, and Cadogan Contemporary in London. She has been awarded residencies at the ArtOmi International Arts Center and Djerassi Resident Artists Program, and funding from the Great Meadows Foundation. She has been nominated for a Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant, and in 2010 received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. Calvert uses traditional and emerging media to investigate the mutable nature of perception and the effect of media on the substantiation of the image.
She is currently Assistant Professor of Art at the Hite Art Institute, University of Louisville and artist-in-residence at the Speed Art Museum for 2018-2019.

- #392By Tiffany CalvertLocated in New Orleans, LACalvert’s current paintings investigate the relationship between digital media and the reception and perception of images, and utilizes diverse technologies such as fresco, 3D modeling, AI and data manipulation through code. She is especially interested in the evolution of pictorial space. Today we view our screens and the world they occupy as a shallowly layered space of overlapping desktop windows. The picture plane has tilted up again from the flatbed to float in front of our eyes. Calvert’s paintings in turn depict an intermediate space, where the verticality of the still life paintings cohabitate with these digital panes. Dutch floral still life paintings encapsulate multiple concerns. Their subjects were botanical fantasies, emblems of an economic mirage that has contemporary corollaries. Most important to Calvert’s pictorial concerns, they depict ephemeral things in shallow and diagrammatic space - they are all foreground. They contain an abundance of visual information in overwhelming density, creating an allover resolution; a visual field that is equivalent to digital noise. By making painterly interventions into reproductions, Calvert attempts to dissolve the layer between the resolution of the source image and abstraction of the painted mark. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Tiffany Calvert has exhibited her work in the US and abroad including Lawrimore Project in Seattle, E.TAY Gallery in New York, the Speed Museum in Louisville and Cadogan Contemporary in London. Residencies include the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, I-Park, and ArtOmi International Arts Center where she received a Geraldine R. Dodge Fellowship. Calvert has received grants from the Great Meadows Foundation and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. Her work was recently profiled by critic John Yau in the online journal Hyperallergic. Her curatorial projects include “Some Abstraction Occurs” at 65GRAND Gallery in Chicago and “Magic” at Mercer College (featuring work by Chris Martin, Karla Knight, and Sarah Peters...Category
