Tamsin Relly, Out of the Night, 2020
Archival pigment print, 54 × 50cm, edition of 20
South Africa-born artist Tamsin Relly moved to London in 2009 and received her MA in Fine Art at City & Guilds of London Art School in 2011. Her multi-disciplinary practice, which includes painting, printmaking and photography, reflects on our shifting global climate, and considers the erasure and construction of wilderness.
This unframed limited edition print is one of a pair that used Polaroid photographs taken in Telegraph Hill Park, south east London, as their starting point. For ‘Out of the Night’, the artist edited the original photograph to create a colour-negative version, which, with its layered, dynamic quality, explores ideas of memory and impermanence. Printed with archival pigments, these prints will far outlive the original Polaroids, a medium which, although loved for its fleeting sense of nostalgia, is prone to fade.
Tamsin’s work has been exhibited and collected widely in the United Kingdom and internationally, appearing in group exhibitions at The Royal Academy of Arts, The National Maritime Museum, SMITH, Cape Town and Galerie Rue Visconti, Paris. Her work is held in collections such as Spier and Ellerman House in South Africa, and Hogan Lovells, Dentons and the National Maritime Museum in London. She has had solo exhibitions hosted by The House of St Barnabas, The Place Downstairs, and Brocket Gallery all in London. Oliver Projects has presented Tamsin’s work in several group exhibitions including ‘Drawing Closer’ in 2020, ‘Into the Light of the Present Day’ in 2021, and the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2021 and 2024. Her work was also shown at Sid Motion Gallery, London, in autumn 2022, in a group exhibition titled ‘Within Reach’. Tamsin is based in south east London.
