Tamsin Relly, Wildflower 1, 2022 (framed)
Monotype, 28.5 x 25.5cm
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.
Drawing on both found media imagery and first-hand observations, Tamsin works with the fluid and unpredictable qualities of her materials and processes to present impressions of natural and urban spaces in states of uncertainty or impermanence. As part of her research, she has visited and studied diverse locations such as Svalbard in the Arctic Circle, The Eden Project in Cornwall, and the fabricated oasis of the Las Vegas Strip.
Tamsin's most recent work has been made whilst living and working ‘off grid’ with her family in rural Cornwall during the summer of 2022. This is one of a series of luminous new monotypes printed directly from leaves and dried flowers. As is constant in Tamsin's practice, the man-made is in dialogue with the wilderness in these works; the artist has printed from dried wildflower husks as well as the instantly recognisable indoor 'cheese' plant (the leaves having fallen off naturally). Each resulting print is delicately layered; in Tamsin's words, the process of building up the image 'almost becomes a dance'. This new work has been framed in oak especially for the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair.
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, SMITH, Cape Town and Galerie Rue Visconti, Paris. 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 2021. Her work was also shown at Sid Motion Gallery, London, in autumn 2022, in a group exhibition titled ‘Within Reach’. Tamsin is based in south east London.
