British artist and academic Tabitha Millett has developed a unique language of form and materials. Her dramatic work explores material moments of agency, simplicity, contrast, movement and texture, and draws influences from minimalism, brutalist design, architecture and aspects of Bauhaus; she aims for depth and intensity through, she says ‘doing less’. Tabitha is a perfectionist by nature, a personality trait which is reflected in the clarity, sharp lines and inherent balance of her work. Minimalist to the core she prefers to keep her life, her possessions and her art organised and precise, and from this order emerges beauty, eloquence and an expressive rigour.
Tabitha creates her own distinctive palette of hand-mixed colours blended with other mediums such as marble dust and limestone fragments, which she contrasts with the darkest matte black.
She is a tenured Assistant Professor of Arts, Creativities, and Education at the University of Cambridge. Her work has been exhibited and sold in the UK, France and Germany and in 2016 she received the Spirit of Soho award for artwork.
