About the Item

Sea Creatures Frolic - Oil on Canvas Figurative Painting 2022 Artwork is on supported wooden frame. Ready to hang. "This piece is a whisper of whimsy and a bold leap into the fantastical, destined to infuse any space with a surge of creative spirit and the thrill of the unknown and absurd." Tam Ess makes oil paintings that explore the subconscious, blending figurative surrealism with balanced compositions that captivate the viewers. Her paintings are characterised by vibrant colours harmoniously juxtaposed with earthy tones and subtle shades. This deliberate palette choice adds depth to her works inviting the viewers to delve deeper into the piece and discover paradoxes about life. Her visual language was heavily influenced by Max Ernst and Hieronymus Bosch. She works primarily with oils on large scale canvas and projects. Her current works explore the contemporary sphere whilst staying true to her vision of challenging viewers to find the beauty and little surprises hidden in everyday ironies.
