Tania Bostock
“For me painting is emotive, and a great deal of time and thought goes into each creation. I am drawn to texture and contrast, and my process consists of straightening and perfecting, then pushing the paint in a freer, less controlled manner. I find both approaches necessary, working in multiple layers with each.
Symbolic of time and aging my paintings may resemble man-made objects such as rusted metal, or the beautiful fine subtleties in nature’s stone. To achieve this effect I am influenced by colour and texture, clearing my mind to concentrate only on the process.”

We Love…
Tanias work is a revelation. The texture, the iridescence, the tones, depths and details… all drawing you in and tricking you. What a stunning stone artwork you will think. The skill, care and devotion to create these paintings is exquisite. A true example of craftsmanship. Not only does Tania have the ability to replicate fine detail, but her consideration of composition and balance compliments the skill - resulting in the most sublime and harmonious forms. ARTFORM.

Feature
Tania Bostock lives in Nelson. She didn’t start painting until she was in her early thirties. She is a self-taught artist, which for her involves puzzling out how to bring to reality what is in her mind. She finds that the form itself is also an intricate part in this equation, and she has only now begun terming some of her artworks as “wall sculptures”.
“My paintings are strong, deliberately imperfect and beautiful”.
