Event Description
Opening: Friday, August 24, 2012
7:00pm in PDT
SOUVENIR gallery presents an abstract painting exhibition of Victoria-based artist Taryn Coulson.
ETC ETC is an exhibition of Taryn’s most recent series of paintings. This work started as a response to degraded images of geometric abstract paintings found on the Internet, printed with an inexpensive printer with an insufficient ink supply. The images it produced evoked ideas around the inevitable erosion of the image through technological reproduction, and its influence on our understanding of the traditi
on of painting throughout art history.
Her current series engages with the idea of repeating a calculated action and the inconsistencies that result as the act is performed again and again. Each work starts as a basic grid structure and through the monotonous process of addition and subtraction using repeated colours and techniques, the resulting pattern is contrasted by the performative action of its making and the unpredictable nature of oil paint. This action has proven in Taryn’s work that the more something is repeated, the more it changes. That ultimately, there is really no such thing as repetition, only variation.
Taryn graduated from the Studio Arts program at the University of Guelph last June 2011 and moved to the West Coast to continue her studies in September 2011. In April 2012 Taryn obtained a certificate for completing the Independent Studio Program at the Vancouver Island School of Art. In the summer of 2012 Taryn became involved with the Souvenir Gallery, where she currently works as a Gallery Assistant while continuing her painting practice.
