Do you even know the color of my eyes?, 2024

Do you even know the color of my eyes?, 2024, Oil on raw linen, 190 × 120 × 2 cm

Tyra Tingleff’s recent works demonstrate her dynamic method of oil painting: myriads of colors form a precarious balance within each canvas, challenging the medium’s material and emotive thresholds. Stained, layered and hybrid in color and texture, the paintings show evidence of multiple revisitations and reworking to the cusp of excess. The titles of the paintings offer a glimpse into the artist’s mind in the form of poetic fragments or witty retorts. Still maintaining the ambiguity of non-figurative painting, they too remain open for interpretation.
