I paint for the purest pleasure of creation, for the free flow of subconscious thought, for the need to escape the confines of law and order.Mostly, my art expresses my way of seeing things.
South African abstract artist Tay Dall (b. 1966) is celebrated for her emotionally resonant oil paintings on unconventional surfaces such as reclaimed doors, shutters, and wood. Her bold use of color, texture, and layered symbolism transforms discarded objects into works that explore memory, impermanence, and the essence of abstraction.
With a career spanning exhibitions across the United States, Europe, and Southern Africa, Dall’s work is held in private and corporate collections worldwide and represented in 34 galleries across three continents. From her studio near Hermanus, she continues to create art that bridges materiality and emotion, shaped by the unique rhythm and light of Africa.
