Tarin Grey is an emerging artist who works and resides in Naarm/Melbourne. 

Tarin is renowned for her evocative use of colour, light, abstract forms, and reductive scapes. With a background in photography, Tarin brings a keen eye for composition and an innate understanding of visual storytelling to her work. Her observational paintings are often depictions of her everyday surroundings intertwined with human activity.

“Being a mum to two young children, my paintings are often explorations of my somewhat insular world. Photography, sketching, and painting, allow me to find new ways of seeing and interpreting the places and people around me. I am driven by a curiosity for human made environments and the people within them. The figures in my paintings help me to understand the landscapes that they occupy. They help me to feel the scale of the trees, the coldness of the shadows or the warmth of the sun, and at the same time, they invite me to imagine their motivations, thoughts, and feelings, at a specific moment in time.”

Tarin's focus on colour and composition is evident in her vibrant yet soothing palettes, where she maintains softness through a limited range of values. Her work often features stylised elements and selective outline, creating a sense of energy bouncing around the canvas.

Tarin’s artistic vision is deeply rooted in line, colour, shape, and the intersection between abstraction and reality.
