Note: Tallman's work is included in the concurrent exhibition Against the Grain at LACE, through Aug 10.
Ami Tallman's Fauvist palette, her love of extreme decor, and her penchant for historical research each feed into her interiors and still lifes. Tallman's compositions — rendered in an urgent hand, with the exuberant embrace of carved railings, ornate frames, tapestries, hunting trophies, and classical art — are shaped by particular historical events and eras. Her previous series depicted country estates in advanced states of disuse; the current suite looks at the society of spectacle that spiritual and political leaders surround themselves with, as part of their charismatic polemics and power structures — a topic well-suited to the quirky majesty of Tallman's style.
