Metaphor Series: Over the past two decades, Polish-American
artist Tamara Tarasiewicz has assimilated, developed and refined
her own dialogue with color, line and structure to create her most
recent complex series entitled Metaphors.
Throughout the first decade, Ms. Tarasiewicz’s work transitioned
back and forth from traditional representational art of the figure
and landscape to abstract art, and back again. viewing these works
is somewhat unsettling. Her most current work is more resolved
and cohesive as a mature body of work.
T his mos t current b o d y of work is the culmination of her
experimentation with all of these components. Her works are
comprised of bold, colorful, predominately repetitive biomorphic
forms reminiscent of the landscape and human figure. The artist
assimilates not only her sense of color and form, but also eastern
and western cultural influences.
Ms. Tarasiewicz creates dynamic forms with linear strokes of color,
often enriching these forms with subtle nuances, such as shading
forms with metallic paints. vibrating staccato brush strokes provide
a sense of volume and depth to many of these works. The work
becomes even more engaging when the same forms go beyond
their solid outlines and are elongated, diffused, combined, and
juxtaposed. The artist transcends the solid notes and creates
pulsating varied compositions that move and intertwine, creating
complex scores.
The replicated fractal elements of many of these works often
replicate the composition of the whole. The repetition of form
and pattern within the whole composition lends pieces constant
rhythmic movement and a frenetic sense of metaphoric chaos.
