Who is tanya brockelman?

Answer 1

Tanya Jill Brockelman is a Thai-American artist, born and raised in Bangkok. Her most recent works are large collages depicting strange faces and figures, made up of scores of images cut from magazines. Up close, the figures splinter into a chaotic field of unrelated images, drawing us in to look at each innocent umbrella, sailboat, frog, roasted chicken, and hub-cap. Brockelman's playful technique of assemblage was sparked after ten years experience making expressive masks from found objects, combined with her recent exploration in mixed-media painting. Light-hearted viewers will find these works especially amusing, whereas some have been heard to describe them as 'freaky.'
