Pamela Talese is an on-site painter known primarily for her work on a range of subjects through out New York City. In the past eight years she has given special focus New York's maritime industries.
"The on-site element is essential for the completion of each painting as I can't get all of the information I need any other way. I am seeing the subject in its original, and my connection with the scene comes from standing out in it. The painting and the place are related by the way each is built up or changed. What occurs during the painting is a kind of temporal layering-an accumulation of perceptual experience over time. The constant study and revision of what's before my eyes, and the corresponding marks and building up of paint texture is parallel to the surface elaboration, encrustation and erosion that occurs in both the natural and man-made world. But one must really look with ones own eyes for a period be there for all of it to register and the beauty to emerge. This is what excites me and is what make the challenges of truck traffic, dirt, the changing weather and wind worth it."
