Tamsin Morse

One in the Other, 45 Vyner Street, London
11 May- 18 June 2006
Sometimes I get a bit self indulgently dismissive of painting; this show temporarily stopped it. Tamsin Morse paints people less mountain scapes, that initially look normal but then you realise that sections of the mountain seems to be floating. Their cool pinky colour reminded me of Cezanne’s Mount St. Victoire. Though unlike Cezanne that paint is applied in tiny colourful dots, the physicality of the paint is not something Morse celebrates. It is sort of a Romantic sci-fi landscape where the world is lit but there is no warm sunshine.
