Tut Blumental
Tut was born in Israel before moving to New Zealand in 2007.
Tut’s consideration and attention to harmony is present in every aspect of her work, from size of canvas to how she chooses colour and applies it. Another aspect of what makes Tut’s paintings so captivating is how she uses colours to radiate off and blend into each other, creating a magical atmospheric painting.
Her paintings allow the mind of the viewer to drift into them, taking the viewer to a place where there is a warm sunrise that is taking over the night sky, where the pink clouds are being reflected in the sea’s surface, transforming the water to appear as a never-ending supply of strawberry cream.
Through an abstraction of the sea or landscape, Tut’s decision to remove details draws attention to what is important to her and what aspects she wants to share. Instead of the viewer being caught up in the details of the sea or landscape, they are captivated by the ‘essence’ which is triggered through her use of colour.
In my paintings I challenge the observer to feel the breeze, the chill in the air; to feel that they are inside the moment, drawing the viewer inward to have an encounter with the nature of the place and time, while striving to capture a glimpse of the beauty, awe and wonder of this world.
