  • TAI SNAITH (born 1980) Portrait of a Sunday Painter (Part 3) 2015 ink and watercolour on canvasboard
    Oct. 21, 2020

    TAI SNAITH (born 1980) Portrait of a Sunday Painter (Part 3) 2015 ink and watercolour on canvasboard

    Est: $700 - $900

    TAI SNAITH (born 1980) Portrait of a Sunday Painter (Part 3) 2015 ink and watercolour on canvasboard signed, titled, and dated verso: PORTRAIT OF A SUNDAY PAINTER / TAI SNAITH - PART 3 / 2015 35.5 x 25cm EXHIBITIONS: Portrait of a Sunday Painter, Bus Projects, Melbourne, 29 April - 16 May 2015 OTHER NOTES: This work is from a suite of 18 portraits of a fictional artist called Giogia de Vivre, from an imagined point in future history. Giogia de Vivre painted for the love of it, but not without seriousness or meaning. She was a true amateur in that she cared little for the hierarchy of the art world and only ever followed her own instincts. Not unlike many female painters today who feel isolated from the art canon and at the same time exploited and marginalised by lifestyle trends (design blogs and fashion magazines) her paintings were constantly referred to as illustration or 'interior decoration' – making her work and life more relevant than ever before. Although she (de Vivre) was relatively unknown during her lifetime, she was celebrated by the art world retrospectively, after her death. For this project, Tai Snaith collects rare snippets of research of the artist's life to paint the picture of a forgotten and inspiring woman ahead of her time. This painting was a finalist in the Churchie Emerging Art prize in Brisbane in 2016
