ABOUT TIN GC ODESCALCHI
Tin is a West Country based artist and is known for her heavily impasto oil landscapes. However, now she works in a completely new (and so far unused) medium of mixed wool & silk fibre and more recently watercolour & mixed media, which are recognisably Tin's style. Texture has always been a key part in her work and these wool paintings are no exception. In Tin's oils, light was an essential factor and was achieved through using the contradiction of the heavy impasto of oil paint; now light is achieved as effectively, but the texture is ethereal.
 
“The initiation of the wool paintings, and latterly watercolours for me, was that I became allergic to paint. However, the wool paintings have become of particular personal interest because of the toxicity of the world we are living in. These paintings are not only a nostalgic nod to Turner and a reminder of a bygone age in art, but their gossamer structure depicts the fragility of our planet, our landscape, and the threat of what we are doing to it.” Tin Odescalchi.
