Neus Torres Tamarit | The Work
Statement
Neus Torres Tamarit (Valencia, Spain 1984) is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in London. Her artworks are constant conclusions of the concepts and thoughts of a subject that has been changing as she has been moving forward in her creations and in her life.
Dualities of interior – exterior, private – public, objective – subjective are reflected in her installations, photographs and mixed media artworks in which Tamarit evokes a solipsistic world and the idea of revealing reality fragments around her, giving special attention to the details of her everyday life materialised with artworks of different nature but related in meaning.
Nowadays, in a world full of information that comes from diverse media, a world in which the personal life seems not to exist anymore, being public with all the internet social platforms, Neus Torres Tamarit's artwork tries to bring a reflection on small details that make our lives different, working in a style that sometimes references to the Povera Art moevement and sometimes has a Surrealist tone - reflecting a nostalgic appearance and expressing the need of a delimited space, a personal space, that sometimes adopts recognised shapes and other voluminous forms.
