Artist Statement
 

Through the  physical act of making, my artwork can be described as a generative process where movement, colour, and form are explored through notions of invocation. Resonance is embraced as there is a distinct translation from the emotive to the tangible. Perceptions are interpreted into physicality with a vigilant awareness of states of being, conscious of shifting connections of depth, weight and intensity.

 

Canvas is a prayer mat and paint the prayer, translating ideas of metaphysical energy, through fluidity and weight of paint and medium. The repetitive application of paint in smearing bodily movements, dripping and pouring, denote different states of invocation, inspired by Abstract Expressionist action painting and the Impressionists investigation of light through paint. An exploration of paint and materiality as alchemical substances take on spiritual meaning through metamorphosis, surrendering to unaccountable changes within the process. This notion of process is inspired by James Elkins book What  Painting Is; where he says ‘Artistic processes are arrangements and transmutations of substances: but sometimes they also are the substances’, as such resonance is a substance.

Biographie

Fatima Tayob Moosa est née en 1983 à Johannesburg, en Afrique du Sud. Elle a obtenu une licence en design d'intérieur en 2008 au Greenside Design Center, College of Design de Johannesburg et, en 2018, a terminé une licence en Beaux-Arts avec mention à l'Université de Hertfordshire à Edinburg par le biais de l'Interactive Design Insitute. Elle a participé au programme 2019 RMB Talent Unlocked en association avec Vansa et Assemblage, où son travail a été présenté à la Turbine Art Fair. Elle a participé à de nombreuses expositions collectives locales, et a pris part au festival d'art d'Amsterdam avec le Center for the Less Good Idea. En 2019, elle a été invitée par la South African Foundation of Contmeporary Art à prendre part à une résidence de 6 semaines à Knyna, Entabeni Farm, en Afrique du Sud.


Fatima est une artiste qui se concentre sur le processus et travaille avec de multiples médias dont la peinture, le dessin et la photographie, parmi tant d'autres, en se concentrant sur le concept qui souligne la manière dont les éléments peuvent évoluer pour créer de nouvelles narrations et significations. Sa pratique est fortement inspirée par la relation entre l'énergie physique et l'énergie métaphysique, qu'elle explore à travers le processus et la matérialité.
Fatima vit et travaille actuellement à Johannesburg, avec un studio basé à August House.
