Lloyd Tabing

Statement

My paintings are a visual representation of the dichotomy between reality and my simplified interpretation of that indescribable noun, reality. Concealing as much as they reveal, my paintings intertwine gestural marks, textures and fields of color. My reactionary process combined with the use of deliberate, bold brushstrokes create both uncomplicated yet powerful paintings.

I paint primarily large scale with acrylic, in combination with oil, charcoal, and graphite. I like to work with different mediums that don’t play well together to create elements in my paintings that are unique.

GlogauAIR Project

I have always had a love of both the natural and the built environments. Within these settings I find myself asking the question of why. Why do I notice one space more than others? Is it the colors, the sound or lack thereof, the lighting, the movement, or the arrangement of many elements? It is these questions that inspire my paintings.

My current body of abstract works further explore these questions and deliver a clearer distinction between the built and natural environment. During my residency I would like to further develop these two directions of paintings that will comprise an upcoming solo show in the USA. Through cooperation with other artists, curators, and the team at GlogauAIR I will seek guidance in developing this body of work as well as create new friendships, connections and networks that will further develop my artistic career.
