Art is always a reflection of life for Tahnee Lonsdale. Her recent solo show at Night Gallery in Los Angeles, “True Romance,” featured lush color fields of larger-than-life figures filled the composition—on bended knee, huddled together, head tilted. Inspired by Lonsdale’s growing spirituality, they wonder what it might mean to fall in love with yourself. What if we could match that first high of falling in love with someone else, internally? While the body of new paintings was coming together Whitewall spoke with the artist about paring down her palette and turning inward, in an interview now in print and online. @tahneelonsdale @nightgallery . . .
