Ami Tallman's most recent exhibition of figurative paintings revolves around the idea of charisma through an intimate depiction of actors, musicians, historical figures, and political activists. Developing her signature brand of portraiture, Tallman's most recent works on paper are looser and more layered with a sharp attention to color as seen in the fiery red-haired Ziggy Stardust, the saturated coat of a young JFK Jr., and Iggy Pop's snarling pink lips for example. Tallman's Technicolor compositions seem as imaginary as they are drawn from life.
