Tula Telfair
DFN Gallery, New York
One might say that landscape artist Tula Telfair strives to measure her own intuition against the human experience. Her dynamic works, which depict ethereal space devoid of human presences, are aesthetically reminiscent of the works of the Hudson River School painters. Unlike these artists, however, whose dedication lay with the direct representation of nature, Telfair works purely from memories, both real and imagined, developing her own system of iconography.

Her dynamic works, which depict ethereal space devoid of human presences,
are aesthetically reminiscent of the
works of the Hudson River School painters. Unlike these artists, however,
whose dedication lay with the direct
representation of nature, Telfair works purely from memories, both real and
imagined, developing her own system
of iconography.
Telfair’s large constructed landscapes, which are often fragmented and
juxtaposed with panels of flat color, pin
nature against structure, referencing both mathematics and color theory. As
artist and critic Dominick Lombardi
states in the exhibition catalogue:
Telfair shows us that the surface of the globe is one spellbinding and
spectacular organism; whether it is lighted by
the relentless sun of the desert, or cooled by the mist of the early
Northeastern spring sunrise. In all of Telfair’s
paintings, there lies an overwhelming passion for the landscape-Through
dazzling light, commanding horizons, rich
forms, and expressive line, Telfair brings us her deepest thoughts about a
brazen storm, a light breeze, or a mild
moment when the awe inspiring power of mother nature’s blossoms.
