Life is About Many Other Things

Wei Tan’s (Tatawa) is a mixed-media artist currently based in Berlin. With a background in music composition, she completed her Master's degree in Music Technology at New York University. Her practise explores the idea of self-revelation through improvisation. The panting materials are cast onto the canvas and mixed together through spontaneous gesture. Influences of sights and sounds are exposed: the colour of an object, the shape of a distant hill, the voices in the background, the piano playing next door. Wei Tan’s commitment to authenticity results in an unique style. Drawing inspirations from the great Abstract Expressionists to today’s cross -disciplinary, multimedia artists, she has exhibited in New York, London, Barcelona, Florence and Berlin.
