In vivid colors and organic abstractions of form, Emilia brings together the traditional art of Malaysian batik and Australian aboriginal design, as well as the contemporary art of impressionism and abstract painting.
Tan was introduced to the art of batik while studying textile and fashion design at the Malaysia Institute of Art, and developed a strong interest in this art of rich, multi-layered surfaces and “lost and found edges.” In a complex process of trial and error, Tan layers color upon color, material upon material, using wax and dyes to create luminous images of great depth and mystery. The drips and pools of color in Tan’s dream-like imagery are the mark of an unpredictable medium; yet she maintains a superb balance of design, fluidity of movement and expressiveness of form. With spontaneity of emotion, the shapes in Tan’s works are in continual motion, sweeping upward in vigorous ascent, or falling brightly in delicate descent.
