Tania Blanchard

The Big Blue

140 x 180 cm

Acrylic on canvas

Tania created and developed her own signature style. Her artwork from a distance looks like a minimalistic colourful arrangement however, on closer inspection you see detailed layering of ‘impasto dots’. This accumulation of ‘dots’ gives each painting a beautiful complex depth. Tania’s works are heavily textured and her tools of choice are palette knives.

‘I paint with the idea that colour theory and therapy can affect viewers when in front of my work. I like to consider myself as a colour specialist or colourist. It’s important that each impasto coloured dot works individually but also in unison with its surroundings.

I want the viewer to feel more engaged and have an emotional effect when viewing my art.’

‘The work is not about an experience, the work is the experience’. Mark Rothko.
