Ami Tallman: When the Sun Shines, It Does not Need Proof
Ami Tallman's Fauvist palette, her love of extreme decor, and her penchant for historical research each feed into her interiors and still lifes. Tallman's compositions — rendered in an urgent hand, with the exuberant embrace of carved railings, ornate frames, tapestries, hunting trophies, and classical art — are shaped by particular historical events and eras. Her previous series depicted country estates in advanced states of disuse. The current suite looks at the society of spectacle that spiritual and political leaders surround themselves with, as part of their charismatic polemic and power structure — a topic well-suited to the quirky majesty of Tallman's style.
