Joseph Tany - Yos

Trine Density

who when artist's statement resume

Big Mama T his painting is constructed of wide and thick brush strokes. This style continues in the main avenue of Expressionism. Portraying a figure yet taking it further along the 'Energy Field', thus additional aspects of this woman are exposed. Oil on Canvas 32x44 $ 7,000 © Yos

Lilian

In Lilian there is a 'hide and seek' game of color dots, where a tender figure of a woman, is eventually found sitting gently on an armchair. This style derives from a much deeper abstract style. Tany's abstraction tends to shift sides, and appears quiet figurative in the end.

	Natural Lay This is a song of nature. Couples and friendships are one of Tany's main subjects. It relates to 'People in Nature' - a classic Impressionist theme. 60x40 Acril on canvas $ 6,000 © Yos

Sax Player

Sax player was painted in Paris. It is in sympathy to music, its colors and its deep expression.

Winner
Winner' and his victorious field of struggle are complimentary. He is in fact made of the materials he is winning with. Or rather it is him who provokes that energy field. This painting is made with rough strong brush strokes.

Puzzled

This painting is somewhere on the line between a moving pattern and a figure. There is an invading contradiction between the rather fast wide strokes of colors and the soft, vulnerable figure who lies in between the lines.

About the artist
Joseph Tany (signs YOS) -has shown his painting in galleries since 1976. His work has completeness but is amazingly vibrant in its inner quality. Trine Density stands for this controversial quality. One of his main theme in this show is 'Two to One'. Metamorphasing any 'Two' into a new 'One'. Or vica versa, splitting the One in Two. He searches for elements to interact. Letting them play in the same neighborhood, pulling them together and building a new significant field of energy. This new field eventually resembles figures, landscape or abstract. Still, they all are energy fields. Trine-density fields. People's movement, conflict and love. Landscape in its atmosphere, structure and promise. Abstract that is movement and emotion with multi dimensional space. All are the Energy Field. All are emotions. Besides painting, Joseph Tany writes poetry, plays music and sculpts. He bakes, sails boats, and designs web sites.

* * *

The paintings of Joseph Tany ( YOS ) are intense with daring colors, wide brush strokes and high emotion, yet it's the intimacy of his work that catches us off-guard. In Orange Turned Face we first sense the strength of the woman's character and the conflict that invades her, then swiftly she turns with that look on her face, and her vulnerability is exposed. This artist does not paint for the passive viewer. His subjects are not overt or obvious. In Lilian the abstractness of his dots and lines grab our attention before making way to reveal a charming woman sitting. His strong, evocative art is suggestive of ancient ways where we hide our real feelings, but told anew through high energy and transformation.

Artist Statement: Painting may say it all. It is reflexive to the solar plexus stream of life - the ever pouring fountain of colors from our hearts. One can compose an experience depending on this natural parallel phenomena. Plus there are new understanding and conceptions echoed in our time, building a new mental awareness in this respect. All together, Painting may say it all.
