Congratulations to Tia Taylor Berry, mapping the notion of spiritual space, who has been awarded the prestigious Freelands Studio Fellowship this year.
Maintaining and sustaining an art practice is difficult. Finding time, space and energy amidst rising rents and increasing living costs is not always a given. It is for this reason that fellowships such as the Freelands Foundation Studio Fellowships are so important. The fellowship grants artists a bursary of £24,000, studio space, mentorship, university-level teaching experience, the opportunity to give a public artist talk, and both solo and group exhibition opportunities. The fellowship is a significant opportunity and endorsement for those early in their career. Upon completion of their fellowship, each artist will exhibit the work they have developed in a solo exhibition.
Based at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen on a Freelands Studio Fellowship. Alongside teaching, Tia is using her studio time to focus on producing and publishing a new body of work, her artist tarot deck, ‘chromatic visions’. The deck will consist of 78 abstract, geometric colour pencil drawings based on the Rider Waite Tarot deck.
In Tia Taylor Berry’s practice, spiritual space is distilled into geometric forms, from triangles and circles to diamonds, mapping the energy and geometry of the spiritual spaces that she experiences. From intricate coloured pencil drawings to larger gouache tondos, we currently have a brilliant selection of work available, each embodying the spiritual qualities that make Taylor Berry’s work so captivating, so engaging.
A notable emerging artist who is gaining attention, we have original work available from £175 – it’s a great time to invest!
