About Tannah Cantrell

Using oil paints, I like to weave scenes of make-believe into panels of wood and canvas, following a fascination with digital and social media, my work consists of figures that sit amongst collaged items from within the internet's archive. Though I focus on paint, I gather compositional inspiration, paticularly late 20th century 'Americana' photography, through the likes of William Eggleston, Diane Arbus and Lee Friedlander. 

I work with a variety of surfaces, sticking mainly to wooden panel and stretched canvas, with all work's being treated to prevent warping and improve longevity.
