“della”, 2011, oil, canvas, 68x52cm
The anxiety of performance drags me down: the exhibition, which is developed as an installation consisting of a series of works in oil on canvas and a photograph, translates and, at the same time, makes a very personal interpretation of words and spelling signs that make up the phrase of the exhibition title. Tamai trys to discover the temporary “grammar” that painting can capture as part of an open process in which the protagonists are the artist and his work.
