First Encounter: Tai-Shan Schierenberg on Portrait of a Young Woman | Tate

Portrait painter, Tai-Shan Schierenberg describes the first time he saw Meredith Frampton's painting, Portrait of a Young Woman and how the piece has impacted his own work.
Meredith Frampton painted Margaret Austin-Jones in a tall vertical format. This echoes the full-length portraits of women painted in the 17th and 18th centuries. However, the precision with which Frampton paints, combined with the work’s feeling of extreme stillness, gives this work an uncanny, modern tone. Frampton said that he made this painting ‘to celebrate an assembly of objects... beautiful in their own right’. He noted that, as Austin-Jones was very musical, the cello was an ‘appropriate symbol’. Frampton also designed the white vase on the table.

"You can be that powerful and still be quiet." Thank you for saying so. I am a former musician who is now a painter and I agree with this observation 100%. So many people miss this.

[@jamesmurrell]

Also a Tai-Shan fan! I love his idea that there is a “volume level” to how a painting is expressed, that a painting can be a “quiet” expression. As he says at the end, there are many ways to make art.

Schierenberg is a very intelligent "thinking" artist, and unlike with so many art videos on youtube, I actually enjoyed this. I will follow his work.

[@lindsayholden5959]

I could listen to Tai-Shan talk about art forever.....his accent is beautiful and his knowledge is wonderful. ❤

[@IsThatYouSimon]

I was telling me the same !

[@MrGiampao]

@@IsThatYouSimon Tai-Shan is able to convince, with words.

[@dreamchampagne]

This was lovely. I could’ve listened to an hour of him speaking

[@paulahasratian3263]

I absolutely love this artist and how he shares his love of painting. Tai-Shan is really really eloquent.

[@jillyb9995]

Aw, love Tai. He's great on PAOTY and LAOTY and if anything comes out of those programmes it's what he's just alluded to in this video...everyone has their own style and what we like to look at may not be what we feel we can create. There is no right way to create art...what other people make of it is up to them.

[@noras.9774]

Short and beautiful: presentation and emotions!

[@war-painter]

I’ve always loved Tai-Shans work! Beautiful painting.

[@edwardfortae2350]

That man is intelligent and very well spoken. I've never been much of a portrait person but what I saw of his looked interesting enough I'd like to see more.

[@camigalles8078]

Love your work and lovely explanation of process.

[@christianeduardo1]

I can listen to Mr. Schierenberg for hours end

[@EmlynBoyle]

There are different ways to make art...absolutely. Thank you Tai, and thank you Tate for this video!

[@GarnetLynne]

Fell in love with Tai a long time ago, she is so wonderful. Thank you.

[@subcynic]

Thank you.

[@davejones732]

Great work....but about the ...piano sound track...not that you asked...draws attention to IT ...not YOU... very distracting... you don't need it.

[@bewareofpigeons]

Yes, I do agree. It's as though music validates speaking about any subject. Unnecessary.

[@francesbartlett9564]

Amazing insight to the painter mentioned in the documentary also a glimpse of Tai-shan's life. Very interesting and a great artist!❤

[@JamesGWall]

This is incredible and I love that painting.

[@donnaparker8489]

More of this .... please!

[@stormhawk3319]

Give this man his own art show. Incredibly talented artist

[@amandao.8043]

He's a judge on Portrait Artist of the Year and Landscape Artist of the Year - both British reality shows available on Amazon Prime in US.

[@garywillis7467]

Thank you Tai 🙏Great to see someone valuing those modes of painting that can only come of a certain technical mastery 👌

[@JadenJahci]

He had his Red Studio by Matisse moment that changed everything. Best, Rothkool

[@judynail1690]

Wonderfully inspirational.

[@maureenconnolly9114]

I love this

[@ghosthawk65]

Tai-Shan is the Rex Harrison of art! 😉

[@stephen_mcateer]

Nice.

[@alexc.c.4025]

I never heard of Tai-shan before. What a wise and cool guy. I just love the expression: Aus der Magenkuhle.

[@peterbunyan3924]

Always wanted to see you paint after seeing you judging on tv :)

[@sebastiaopazcosta6684]

Guuurl this is tough ❤ Thanks for the workout!

[@olivierbolton8683]

True there are different ways....each one must find its way...through flood plains and narrows...

[@isabeedemski3635]

Cant hear dialoge over the music! Ugg. Would have been good.

[@rodneydoxa7903]

wow

[@JP-bb9hu]

I was afraid, Tai might say: "I just like the way he puts paint down", but he didn't. So, thanks!

[@thehumanatelier]

❄💙.

[@MrGiampao]

he is the best and he is presumptuous

[@salihsalih5703]

A painting... A few brush strokes... A few colors... sometimes pale, sometimes vibrant.... Yes, just a painting.. But the life inside... the meaning inside... is definitely a sufficient shelter to escape from the cruelty and brutality of all people...🎨

[@eyesopen-paintbrush-full298]

I can tell that you don't paint... It is not "a few brush strokes".... It is always a matter of 1000s of brush strokes! 😅😅

[@salihsalih5703]

🖼🎨... Those few brushstrokes may turn into dozens or even, as you say, 1000s of times. Isn't it equivalent to a coup d'état? Even that tiny trace is enough to tell the big picture. Doesn't being a painter require this anyway? Moreover, saying that I don't paint may be one of the most wrong things in life.

[@user-pg5wo8dj5m]

beautiful idea of silence

[@star_wars_miniatures]

Genuinely had no idea he was an artist, just know him as a judge on sky arts 😅

[@leftpastsaturn67]

Despite the fact that the programme tells you in every single episode that he's an 'acclaimed artist'?

[@star_wars_miniatures]

@@leftpastsaturn67 ahh I see 😅 I must pay more attention
