ARTIST BIO:
Tay Odynski, professionally known as Taytayski, has started to establish a distinctive presence in the art world both online and in Alberta since launching her career in Calgary eight years ago. A design graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD), Tay is driven by her passion for pushing creative boundaries in her art. Her signature style is characterized by letting the paint dictate the outcome of her work and utilizing every drip, splatter, brushstroke and medium.
As a self-proclaimed "painter for the people," Tay's early work included a wide range of commissioned pieces, showcasing her ability to bring her clients' visions to life and loving the joy it brought to them. From portraits of celebrities and musicians, to pets and athletes, to sparkly drag queens, her use of vibrant colors, paint splatter, and glitter is immediately recognizable.
As her career has progressed, Tay has shifted her focus from commissions to live experiences, showcasing her art through live paintings, painting classes, and on-stage performances. Her outgoing personality and love for people draws her to opportunities to engage with the public and bring her art to life in front of live audiences whenever she can.
SHOW DESCRIPTION:
“Inspiration and influence are complex concepts in the art world. With the rise of technology and the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) generating art, the debate around the authenticity and originality of AI art has become a prominent topic in the industry. While traditional artists draw inspiration from other artists, movements, and cultural contexts to create their own unique style, AI art operates within the parameters set by its creators, drawing inspiration from existing art.
Art of Influence is a curated collection showcasing artists, both classic and contemporary, who have in some way influenced and inspired the artistic journey of Tay. Be it through their techniques, uses of color, career paths, drive, or passion, each of these artists has played a role in shaping Tay's style and career.
Join us in exploring the newest evolution of Tay's style as she balances paying homage to her influences while creating something that is uniquely her own. A traditional artist’s response to the intimidation that’s come with the introduction of art created by machines. Observe how her journey compares to that of A.I art and decide for yourself the difference between intentionality and creativity in the creation process."
