Before the water has a chance to dry, he applies drops of mineral ink, resulting in unruly and expansive bleeds on the paper.\u00a0 Tharp takes his inspiration from a wide-ranging set of influences including 1970s American cinema and Japanese portrait prints. His characters have names, histories, and narratives, but they suggest multiple interpretations. Is the woman clutching a knife in\u00a0<em>Pigeon (After Sunshen)<\/em>\u00a0defending herself or is she a vengeful murderess? In these enigmatic portraits Tharp investigates the performance of identity and the point where the myth of a person supersedes reality and becomes truth. -Whitney Museum. \u201cMy work can be distilled in two distinctive points of interest. One would be the tradition of the hand made object and its inherent ability to reflect nature. \u201d His work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Saatchi Gallery, Portland Art Museum, Reed College, Portland Institute of Contemporary Art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Storm Tharp\u00a0builds his strange and beautiful characters by first drawing contours on the page with water.
