Reviews for Tashe

She is 16, perhaps 17? Old enough to know she does not yet know herself, if that makes sense? We live in changing times. While our hearts may want the comfort of religious ritual and its softer future, our heads know with certainty that no satellite or space telescope has found a god or a religious refuge beyond this planet. Why may that matter in this review? Because this artist is naked. She is external to those religious values which say, ‘Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.’ Though young, she is skilled because mixing paints on a pallet is tricky. There are two brushes. The picture must be tricky too. Our artist is not self-seeking. She is not stealing figurative fruit for her consumption. There is nothing gratuitous in this artistic image of Tashe’s. The eyes only consider her work. The young painter is naked before her art because her artistic soul is represented through her. The hair is long, loose, indeterminate and so private. What matters to her is the ideas she is painting. So profound. As art intends and can be. As this is. Tashe’s use of colour is considered. She surrounds the artist in yellow, the symbol of sun rising, of potential.

Glance. It can be the mood of the female? It can be the place in her day or her life? There’s a sense that tranquillity matters to all the ladies of Tashe’s pictures, even those who are thirsting to move forwards. Irony, therefore. How much of feminine life is ironic? Then, there’s Tashe’s skill. We see the faintest of nuance of a brush stroke. The female’s feelings become uppermost as we see her, judge her, think about her. In this picture, the cup is squeezed by tight fingers. The spoon remains. The subject is looking at us but not seeing us. Her view is inside her heart. There’s a pensive tightness of her cheeks. Her coat arm is wrinkled – imperfect – a reflection of her inner questions. We long for her to smile. When she does, her vision will be warm. And how does Tashe achieve all of this on a canvas where the face is mostly the white of the paper? All one can say is ‘thanks Tashe.’ And a shout out for Ukraine in its sacrifices and mighty struggle for independence.

All is can say is wow. Holy cow and OMG. I’m truly stunned by how my art arrived. I loved my print, it was virtually indestructible with all the wrapping and care taken in sending it here and the communication was incredible. I have not hung it on my wall yet beverage’s it is being framed, but I’m very excited for the art I had commissioned by Tasha to arrive. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Tashe's work is subtle and pervasive. There is delicasy. Yet, to see these images - this image - is to appreciate a deep resonance. Tashe connects with the feminine mood in all its turns and variations. She is not critical. She is not celebratory. But the sum of her observation is remarkable testimony. Ever more reason why the Ukraine should remain free and self-governing.

Where ever in the room, this fine female looks at you. She is not calling you out. She is not critical of herself. And yet, to be in her presence is to find oneself asking questions of her and so of oneself. She has so much purpose. Another example of Tashe's subtle and remarkable talent. We must never forget to stand by the Ukraine.

I love the way Tashe sees and portrays beauty. These drawings are a gift and the whole process of acquiring them was easy and pleasurable. Thank you Tashe!

Draw close to this image to find a flurry that is almost irreverent. Move back, as this image in the taster, to realise the perspective is subtly achieved, that the eyes follow exactly as Tashe intended. I bought this picture at the outset of the invasion of Ukraine as Western countries were beginning to reach out to this violated country. It seemed we needed hands to be held and to dream of the sunset. Posted in Ukraine early in the conflict, it took time to travel. But travel it did. The sunset sits on my desk as I work, as I write. Tashe's brush work is so precise despite an apparent ease with which she works. Thank you Tashe. Thank you to Ukraine for your fortitude and sacrifice.
