Tiger Materializing is a large semi-abstract oil painting of a tiger

Title: Tiger Materializing is a large semi-abstract oil painting of a tiger
Description: Tiger Materializing is a large semi-abstract oil painting of a tiger appearing out of a vibrantly coloured background. It is 48x36x1.5 inches. The background is highly textured (as there is another painting beneath it which did not work) and I decided to see what I could create out of the texture created from that one. It was almost like sculpting and what eventually materialized was a tigress. She is beautiful and lethal and is a powerfully muscled creature though I have deliberately avoided being too precise with her anatomy and fur. The inspiration behind it being simply a celebration of how beautiful tigers are and what a tragedy it would be to lose them from the world. It is more abstract than my usual style but does contain my favourite colours and the contrast I like to make between traditional vs abstract. This, for me, makes the painting much more interesting than some wildlife style tiger paintings as it shows the spiritual energy of the tiger in addition to its distinctive fur patterns. Dedicated to all those people who are working to protect and save wildlife and their habitats. Please keep doing what you are doing.

Gill Bustamante

Artist Biography:

Gill Bustamante is a professional artist based in East Sussex who creates large semi-abstract landscape, seascape and wildlife paintings in oil on canvas. Her painting style is very distinct and often fuses art-nouveau, impressionist and semi-abstract techniques with traditional portraiture that reflect her love of nature, animals, birds and the flora and fauna of the landscapes around her. She loves the ancient landscapes of England and her paintings often reflect the magical elements that such landscapes have. Gill’s main working method has been the development of a painting style she terms ‘memory impressionism’. This method involves going walking somewhere, looking at and absorbing the things she sees and experiences, and then returning home to her studio to try and capture an echo or essence of the place from memory - including any wildlife she may have seen. By this method, she captures precise moments in times at different seasons and the feeling she has about them. Gill completed a fine art degree in Brighton in 1983 and has painted since she was three. In her own words: “Painting always makes me happy along with cake, bunnies, driving erratically, BBC 6 music and totally irreverent comedy”.
