Tess Sheerin Artist
Tess Sheerin’s weird and wonderful work comes from an ever-changing, dream-like blend of beauty, fantasy, humour and the animal kingdom!

Influenced by a fusion of favourite artist M. C. Escher, Japanese art, street graffiti and the surrealist movement, Tess’ art captures and enchants, whisking the viewer away to the heady realms of magic, lust and curiosity. Self-taught, Tess' new works incorporate more graphic design techniques than her earlier projects, using a myriad of skills to vivid effect. Airbrushing, charcoal, mark making, stenciling, pastel, carving and collage are all given a whirl! Tess is inspired by her travels, and her art reflects the new people, places, activities - even the smells and weather - encountered in her daily life.

Tess’ paintings have been exhibited in New Zealand, New York, Brighton and London, and she is now about to break out onto the Shoreditch arts scene with her new project of recycled surfboards. Tess’ style works perfectly with this medium, resulting in a unique mash-up of sensuality, eroticism and found art. Don’t miss out on seeing this bold new project from the up and coming Kiwi/Brit artist!

Praise for Tess Sheerin

“I was taken on quite a journey through the pages of your work and it was a journey I very much enjoyed. I think you have made a statement about the difference between pornography and eroticism, and have done so with such a unique and beautiful style. Your work is both subtle yet arousing”

“In all of [Tess’] work there is an erotic element in shape, texture and colour… she seems able to capture the beauty, shape and form of the body and its deeper portrayal of our emotions, lust and desire.”
