Tamar Kander at Long-Sharp Gallery

Tamar Kander (b. 1958) was recently in the dual-artist exhibition “Tamar Kander + Amy Kirchner: Silence and Sunlight” at Long-Sharp Gallery, Indianapolis, where she debuted a new body of paintings in her signature, abstract-expressionist style. Though inspired by landscape and architecture, Kander’s work is predominantly within the realm of total abstraction, and reflects the artist’s thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Her work has a distinct textural element, achieved through the incorporation of materials such as powdered gesso, marble dust, and wax, just to name a few.
