Tate’s worlds are comprised of interchangeable forms, minimally depicted under a unifying principle of monochrome. The absence of figures in Tate’s scenes makes us conscious of our own presence and our role in completing these artworks, emphasis is on us the viewer, and our relationship with the painting. Tate highlights the viewer’s active role in completing the cycle of generating meaning, an active experiment between the art object, maker and the viewer.
Jill Tate lives and works in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
