Ernestine Tahedl
Agora Gallery
530 W 25th St Ernestine Tahedl Bel Canto |
Flowing panoramas of stupendous natural vistas dominate Tahedl’s canvases. At one with the visual spirituality of nature, she injects her work with sweeping swaths of rich color—oranges, deep reds, contrasts of grays and blues, to capture the natural world’s glory. Passionate representations of semi-abstract ponds, forests, wonderful flora, and ubiquitous lily pads result, recalling Monet’s commanding landscapes. Utilizing immense canvas space, multiple triptychs, and sectioned wood panels in an attempt to expand her painting surface, breathtaking storm clouds reflecting off majestic lakes abound. Residing in Ontario, Tahedl is an elected member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Her work has been bestowed with numerous international honors, including the Mayor Prize at Kyoto, Japan , as well as the prestigious Queen's Golden Jubilee Medall. Of her work she says, “Although my paintings are recognizable as landscape paintings… I filter these memories onto the canvas as an intuitive rather than an intellectual process… It leads me towards the medieval concept of religious paintings and their spirituality… Colour to me is light.” Echoing Henri Matisse’s words she asserts, “Colour was not given to us in order that we should imitate nature. It was given to us that we can express our emotions.”
