Tankey is well recognized for his dynamic
sense of hyper realism. Tankey is a Melbourne based artist whose work
attempts to discuss the ever narrowing gap between high and low culture
and art. His works are expertly painted and jump off the canvas to the
point where the viewer is mesmerized fighting the urge to reach out and
grab the items of refuse, or touch the people depicted. Tankey’s
still life compositions are a reflection of today’s society. They
directly comment on the parameters of the society we live in and the consumerism
that informs our life. Over the past few years, the focus of my work has shifted away from streetscapes and moved towards the still life genre. The theme of urban decay continues to resonate in the current work in which spent objects act as signifiers of consumerist excess. The new work has presented new challenges of not only convincing representation, but of also imbuing a personal narrative within each composition. The narrative is not always linear or clearly defined. This way I hope the work ceases to be simply a dialogue, but rather a conversation with the viewer.” Peter Tankey 2011 |
