Tanya Linney

Former model Tanya Linney is all too aware of the unrealistic expectations our culture demands of young women, fuelled by the shallow imagery circulated in the tabloid media. Rather than write a feminist manifesto, Linney draws on these images - anything from the classic raunch icon Playboy to trashy mags. She slices and dices and spits them out to produce ironic, humorous, twisted and beautiful imagery. Linney’s work is like a journey through the surrealist game of ‘Exquisite Corpse’ as mismatched forms collide and shine. Her layering technique draws you in, makes you stop, take notice and more often than not, laugh. Having collaborated with leading fashion designers and labels including Kirrily Johnston, Sass and Bide and Ksubi, Linney adopts a cutting-edge approach to produce visually arresting images. This is art that is out there, about you and on you!
