Tennis Club de Paris presents Tanya Ling’s art in full flow. At her outset, Ling began as a noted fashion illustrator (shades of Andy Warhol), for such luminaries as Louis Vuitton and Vogue. Subsequently, she shifted effortlessly and decisively from this long-past practice to the more exacting media of oil on canvas and ink on paper. Indeed, her graphic work is one earlier wellspring – no more or less – which helps fuel her pictorial syntheses. Common to fashion and art’s visuality are several key elements. In short, line, motion, stylish chromatic choices and the body’s lines of force. Significantly, Ling weaves these elements into the vivid compositions for her debut show at Ronchini. The figure once central to fashion has changed into non-figurative, albeit allusive, exuberance and fantastical flux.
