Tamara Mendels received a MFA (Painting) from Sydney College of the Arts in 2011.
She positons her practice as “advocating for the necessity of the continued discovery of painting in abstraction. The importance of connecting with abstraction in a post modernist world in the age of media and technology is that abstraction seeks to destabilise social and cultural barriers using autonomous visual language that translates human emotion to unite people in a shared grounding experience. My desire to produce harmonious and precise works, heightened by the interplay between positive and negative spaces, utilises my cumulative painting technique of continuous applications of line and colour crystallized into the formation of the primary mark
to induce an ecstatic trance-like state of observation.”
