Tamar Zinn is a visual artist whose works balance a light-infused romanticism with a reductive structure. Both oil paintings on panel and oil stick drawings on paper are integral to her studio practice and distinct in both intention and process. Zinn works loosely, and intuitively, alternately building up and sanding down layers of paint until she finds, as she describes, “the just right balance between activity and calm, between reasoned decision making and intuition.”
Her marks reflect her experience of nature and the world but are not of it. She says”
“The thread that runs through my paintings and drawings is the embrace of the transitory nature of our experiences. While the gestures may be evocative of many things, my drawings depict nothing in particular.”
Tamar Zinn's work is included in corporate and private collections throughout the United States, including, including Citibank, Fidelity, IBM, McKinsey, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and NYU-Langone Medical Center. Tamar Zinn lives and works in New York City and her oil paintings on panel and paper are represented by Kathryn Markel Fine Arts with two gallery locations in New York City.
