Tanyth Berkeley



Last year during my trip to the states one of the cities i visited was new york, and one of the things one my list of things do in new york was to visit a museum or a gallery. i was supposed to go to the Marianne Boesky (not sure if i spelled that one right) gallery which features up and coming artists and far out artworks. ANYWAY, that didn't happen so i decided to just go to the MOMA instead. and one of the artists that they had on exhibit was Tanyth Berkeley's photographs.


Born in brooklyn, NY Tanyth is known for her portraits of very unique individuals that she knows. when i saw the life sized photographs of her subjects i couldn't take my eyes off of them. the color saturation, the subjects, the way she portrayed them in her photographs were so beautiful and so sad and so ethereal at the same time. i couldn't spend much more time in the MOMA after that because my head hurt after all the beautiful things that i saw.
you can check out her work at the site of the bellwether gallery --> http://bellwethergallery.com/artistsindex_01.cfm?fid=83&gal=1
