RossTamlin - Biography
A Range of Contemporary Art for Sale in #Byron Bay
Ross Tamlin is a corrugated signage art specialist from Australia.He was born in Herne Bay, Auckland, NZ in 1958.
Commencing a career in art and oil paintings
Leaving school Ross Tamlin commenced a part-time Town Planning course at the Auckland Technical Institute and worked in the chemical industry to pay his way. Eventually, he was offered a Town Planning cadetship at one of the Auckland county councils. Somehow it didn’t quite seem like him. He wanted to travel and see a bit more of the world so, in 1982 he moved to Sydney, Australia. Life was tough moving to a new country with very little money and he had to get a job quickly.
So it was he got employment in paint manufacturing. After work, he would spend all his time drawing. Soon he had enough work to put a portfolio together, submitted it to Meadowbank TAFE and was accepted with an A pass into the Fine Arts course by the principal Jocelyn Maughan. He was lucky to have exceptionally good teachers including Ross Harvey who taught him painting.
The Fine Arts course at Meadowbank taught him a lot but he wanted a more contemporary, studio-based experience and in 1994 became a member of CASA artists’ studios in Rozelle. It was a truly inspiring environment with a great bunch of artists working at different levels, styles, and mediums. There were many discussions about art, we exchanged ideas and information and supported one another. It was wonderful being in an environment with other artists. Later, CASA transformed into a much larger studio space called 1+2 Artists studios with about 50 artists. During this time, he had been exhibiting in a number of small galleries and art shows and had won awards for drawing at the Bankstown show and first place in the traditional section of the Fishers Ghost at Campbelltown
Modern paintings for sale by artist Ross Tamlin
At 1+2,Ross Tamlindid enough work to have his first solo exhibition with some moderate success, and that was the beginning of actually selling his artwork and being taken up by commercial galleries. Surrealism interested him significantly in his quest to understand modern art. He wanted to combine the use of contemporary surrealism with hyper-realism to create his own signature style of painting. The shipping container paintings evolved from when his wife and he moved to the UK and took their car with all their possessions inside a container. He was intrigued by the idea of lives being encapsulated in those coloured steel boxes with their huge company logos painted on the sides of containers that traversed all parts of the world. The idea for the corrugated signage paintings developed from these images as did his paintings of the stacked containers aboard ships and at the docks.
