Behind the scenes
Tahnee Lonsdale 1 collaborationFor as long as she can remember, Tahnee Lonsdale has needed to paint. “I’ve always had to work to feel normal", she says. “It’s very therapeutic. It’s a bit like journaling". On canvas, she uses layered oil paints to create a haven of emotional divinity. Her portraits are totemic, genderlessness and intuitive. Limbs and bodies entwine and entangle – the embraces are warm but claustrophobic. In all of Lonsdale’s work, there’s a push and pull between heaven and earth. Go lightly (2022) is one painting that shows a group of figures that could easily be a gaggle of fallen angels. Their heads reach high into the sky, but their feet drag down, heavily.
