About Tandi
“Being an artist is one more extension of living a passionate, expressive life.”
Tandi Venter was born in South Africa and studied graphic design at the Johannesburg Art Foundation. Inspired by the colors and rhythms of her native country, she brings an eclectic, contemporary vision to her work.
A recurring theme in her body of work is the idea of sanctuary and solitude.
“My goal is to achieve a 'glow' from each painting,
a substance of Light itself.”
Tandi's paintings are created with multiple layers of acrylic glazes through a process of addition and subtraction, sometimes removing sections of the paint with water to leave faint traces of the canvas' history. A series of horizontal and vertical brush strokes form a shear linen vale on each layer. The artwork displayed in her prints is created using traditional and non traditional techniques, from acrylics and graphite to photography and digital art.
A self-taught painter, Tandi displays a strong understanding of geometric structure. Her art’s expressionism takes its inspiration from nature and landscape, the commonplace and the abstract. Elements in her artwork give one a sense of nostalgia. Broad vistas and horizontal plains offer an atmosphere of stillness and balance. The vibrancy of her palette together with quietude present something spiritual.“Even in the intensity one can find rest.”
Her artwork enhances spaces of private collectors and is widely recognized amongst the hospitality, commercial, and domestic decor industry nationally and internationally.
A passion for music and culinary arts also compliment Tandi's expressive life. She lives in Denver with her husband and their two sons.
