Patrick Taberna’s work takes the form of a series of portraits of individuals and locations, often observed through incidental detail, such as a hairpin, a torn letter, or extended arms. The studies intriguingly in close connections with the author’s personal past, while eschewing the overt statement of diary or chronicle format. There is no narrative stream, and no explicit confession; the pictures demand appreciation in their own right, holding the spectator at bay as if to conceal the underlying significance for the artist. But ultimately, the strong sense of discretionally enhances the subtle insights afforded into the artist’s private life.
