Tatyana Murray

Effervescent Reflections is a survey exhibition of sculptural works by Tatyana Murray expanding on her body of work created over the last twenty years.

British artist Tatyana Murray has been based in New York since the mid-1990s. Largely self-taught artist, Tatyana found personal meaning in sculptures through the abstractions of nature and the cosmos. While her approach to the medium is poetic, she uses tools and materials that convey intense hard work. She stitches, pins, drills, hits, weaves, cuts and scratches to create illusions of depth and layering, bringing light into her entire body of work. Finding beauty between chaos and softness, her sculptural works bring textures and movement in a refined balance. Through a meditative process, Tatyana repeats pattern making in geometric and circular shapes, exploring her universes in which forms continuously collapse and rearrange themselves. Her “Cloud”, “Nebula” and “Candy Flowers” engage with ovular forms and a dreamlike intensity. The velvety covers adding to a sense of whimsical mystery. Her cosmic works such as ‘Uranium’ and ‘Flame at Night’ use rubber, plexi and metal to create a visual tension between universal harmony and chaos. In her survey exhibition ‘Effervescent Reflection’, Tatyana enforces her solid presence in the art world, largely appreciated by an audience of international collectors. The artist, who renowned NY Times art critic Roberta Smith once called a ‘promising hand’ is now established in her field.
