Over the course of her distinguished career, Tess Jaray has developed a practice that despite sharing affiliations with minimalism, architectural drawing, Op Art and other movements, resists any singular classification.
Warm-up + Project
Tess Jaray has created a stunning body of work over 6 decades.
The following are ideas and comments taken from interviews and Jaray commenting on her work.
Each painting somewhat comes out of the last painting
Colors in her paintings somewhat represent perhaps a time of day or an emotional feeling
Adds up to infer that there is something beyond the surface
Flattens the surface but also show dimension
Suggests that there is more than meets the eye
Geometric purity
Involves the viewer
Complicated process to get something simple
As we have learned in our past creative explorations, often simple paintings are more complex to create.
Let's give it a try!
