Tezz Kamoen

Tezz Kamoen makes monumental works on paper in crayon, ink and marker pencils. Kamoen’s dazzling surfaces are packed with information, combining figures, objects and text.

Her vibrant, all over style recalls 1980’s Neo-expressionism and is equally highly charged. Kamoen ruminates on the individual’s position in society; success and failure; commercialism; and societal relationships. Her work is self-reflective and psychological, displaying a stream of consciousness that is raw, urgent and fractured. Textual slogans interlaced with looming faces and disparate motifs combine to create a cacophonous blaze of form, colour and discordant meaning.

Exhibited at Griffin Gallery in Young Gods, January 2015.
