Every brushstroke narrates a tale, each hue reveals an emotion, and every canvas encapsulates a universe. This week, we are delighted to offer you an exclusive insight into a visionary whose artistic endeavours transcend conventional boundaries and usher us into unprecedented domains of creativity.
Tanner Valant has recently affiliated with our team at Aston to introduce his remarkable primary market collection to a new audience within the United Kingdom, aiming to augment his international recognition following his considerable and increasing acclaim in his native city of Chicago.
'Hands' 23x29 inches (Available 10/04)
To acquaint you with Tanner, he is a burgeoning artist currently studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Utilizing a hyper realistic technique with coloured pencils, he artfully distorts and merges recognizable societal imagery.
Though predominantly autodidactic at this juncture, his art probes into themes of balance, duality, and our interconnection with the cosmos.
Drawing upon personal experiences and acute observations, Valant adeptly portrays the symbiotic existence of contrasting elements, with a significant emphasis on the juxtaposition between natural facets and cryptic chrome abstractions.
Sophia Davison will delve into:

- The unveiling of his latest work, 'Hands'.
