Tamsin Relly, Where We Merge, 2021
Monotype, 38 x 28cm
South Africa-born artist Tamsin Relly moved to London in 2009 and received her MA in Fine Art at City & Guilds of London Art School in 2011. Her multi-disciplinary practice, which includes painting, printmaking and photography, reflects on our shifting global climate, and considers the erasure and construction of wilderness.
This unique print, created using an earthy, subtle palette, is the partner piece to the more vibrant ‘Where We Merge 2’. Both prints are characteristic of the artist’s light filled images which suggest a shifting uncertainty. To create these one-off prints, the artist paints onto a perspex plate, allows the paint to partially dry, and then damp paper is placed onto the painted plate before being passed through a printing press. The magic is in the unpredictability of the process, where, as Tamsin notes, ‘there is always an element of surprise’.
Tamsin’s work has been exhibited and collected widely in the United Kingdom and internationally, appearing in group exhibitions at The Royal Academy of Arts, The National Maritime Museum and Sid Motion Gallery, all in London. Her work has also been included in group exhibitions in Paris and Cape Town. Her work is held in collections such as Spier and Ellerman House in South Africa, and Hogan Lovells, Dentons and the National Maritime Museum in London. She has had solo exhibitions hosted by The House of St Barnabas, The Place Downstairs, and Brocket Gallery all in London. Oliver Projects has presented Tamsin’s work in several group exhibitions including ‘Drawing Closer’ in 2020, ‘Into the Light of the Present Day’ in 2021, and the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 202 and 2022. Tamsin is based in south east London.
