Tamara Bond: Plants and Animals

/

November 22 - December 6
Opening Reception: November 22, 1-3 PM

In this collection of 16 new paintings, Tamara Bond draws inspiration from the natural world, the subconscious, and a deep love of colour. Drawing on the success of her 2024 solo exhibition, Bond uses her own visual language of symbols that mix and intersperse throughout these small format paintings. The repetition and intermingling of these symbols allows Bond to weave a cohesive narrative, allowing each painting to build upon the last and create endless stories.

Artist Statement:

While making these paintings, I was taking a course on writing a children’s book. At the time, I was thinking a lot about the illustrations in these books. Doing that work really inspired me to try and make a body of work that would speak to young people. When naming the paintings, I wanted to talk about our connection with nature and I wanted the titles to be repetitive, like the writing so often is in children’s books. Repetition is also in the images I use as symbols to talk about our interconnectedness and transformation. The work itself is transformed over and over again as I add layer after layer of colour, line, and shape.
