Tess Costil

Tess Costil is an artist from Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa. Her process pays homage to the tradition of mixed media. The medium allows her to bring disparate fragments together; create chaotic conceptual collisions and speak through them. Her art speaks of tensions and conflicts but also highlights unexpected harmonies. The bold compositions host feminine portraits which are carefully poised to emit a slightly out of world aesthetic quality. Ideas emanate in pieces which display beautiful yet unnerving dreamscapes that delicately reveal that life and people are full of layers.
