Original artwork description
I always said I wouldn’t sell prints until I was completely happy with them and would hang them on my walls.
I am now in a position to offer Hahnemühle Cézanne musume grade giclee prints on cotton canvas (430gsm).
I normally ship my paintings and sculptures within 2-3 days; prints take a few days longer, as my printer is in Bangkok and they need to print and send them to me in Koh Samui, where I can sign and prepare them for shipping.
This painting beautifully highlights Ta Byrne’s signature approach to contemporary figurative abstraction, merging distinct Cubist influences with emotional warmth.
One of my heroes, Rodin, first started work on the original Thinker circa 1880- 1881 in Paris. It was 70 cm high and was meant to be part of a larger work. I painted my first Thinker in 2017, then again in 2021. One in 2022 and this one in 2026, also 70cm high, in Koh Samui, so I don’t do them very often, but I think I may because I love them and all 4 are different.
I want you to look at my work and understand the meanings behind it, although I understand people will have different feelings and therefore different understandings. It’s
not like looking at a movie where the meaning is spelt out for you; you have to look carefully for it.
Unlike many surrealists, who present their dreams, my work centres on people and bold colours. It opens up new dimensions of art to explore, while my Blue Valentine figures radiate closeness, love, and a sense of safety, and my conspirator characters evoke curiosity. “My subject matter is people, but my real passion is in colour and how the arrangement of colour can produce a different emotional experience of art.”
