Leah Tinari
New York based artist Leah Tinari makes bright dynamic paintings combining imagery based on photographs of family and friends, disparate objects, and patterns or fabrics she is drawn to. The works are unmistakably personal, often involving playful and slightly surreal portraits rendered with an intimate knowledge of the subjects. Snippets of environments and objects resemble the recollection of a memory or a dream, and viewers often relate to the paintings with a curious familiarity, as if they were moments glimpsed from their own lives. The caricature-like narrative in Tinari's work addresses and encompasses the simultaneous awkwardness and complexity of the human condition.
