Upcoming Exhibition

Tam Irving

Opening reception: Friday, July 31, 6–8 p.m.
Artist Talk with Tam Irving: Sunday, August 2, 12–1 p.m.

The Ferry Building Gallery is delighted to present Tam Irving’s Dimensions, an exhibition of work sitting at the intersection of colour, form, and perception—where the boundaries between painting, object, and optical experience begin to dissolve.

Long recognized as a master potter, Irving turns here to a broader visual language, extending his practice beyond function and into a sustained inquiry into the relationship between art and craft.

At the heart of the exhibition is a rigorous exploration of colour: its capacity to create tension or harmony, to advance or recede, to unsettle or resolve. Drawing on the legacy of colour field painters such as Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman, Irving examines how subtle shifts in hue and contrast can produce spatial effects.

Artist Statement

I've always been drawn to the push and pull between planning and letting go—that moment when a carefully placed line suddenly wants to become something else entirely.

I work with layered gesso, acrylic, oil stick, and graphite, building up surfaces slowly and intuitively. My background is in theatrical backdrop painting and film design, so I tend to think big in terms of scale, atmosphere, and how a space feels when you're standing inside it. That sensibility carries into my studio practice, even when the work is about something much quieter.
