Opening Reception: November 4th, 1-3 PM

Ernestine Tahedl is an internationally celebrated artist for her large scale abstract paintings. Over the last six decades, her work has contributed to visual culture throughout North America and Europe through many exhibitions.

This collection of recent paintings is a culmination of six decades of experience. Tahedl accomplishes powerful, expressive synesthetic responses that encapsulate the emotional resonance of music from the romantic era. Each painting is titled on the music that inspired it.

The exhibition’s title, Tone Colours : ColoursTones perfectly summarises this collection. The paintings are united by the relationship of these two qualities . They undulate between one informing the other and vice versa. However both are required to achieve visual rhythm and overall harmony. It is these qualities that provide the emotional resonance which makes Tahedl’s work exceptional.
