Tiffany Bozic Spectrum
Spectrum marked Tiffany Bozic’s fifth solo exhibition with Joshua Liner Gallery, on view from November 16 to December 16, 2017. Featuring twelve new acrylic paintings on maple panel, the show explored the full range of human emotion through Bozic’s distinct lens of natural allegory. Drawing from the Redwood Forests of Northern California and her global field experiences, Bozic crafted intimate, surreal scenes populated by animals and insects, each one a metaphor for universal psychological states such as anxiety, vulnerability, and transformation. Spectrum invited viewers to reflect on the fragile, ever-shifting relationship between nature and human emotion.
Born in 1979 in Arkansas, Tiffany Bozic lives and works in Larkspur, California. Her richly detailed paintings reflect a lifelong fascination with biology and natural systems, shaped in part by her time as the first artist-in-residence at the California Academy of Sciences. Bozic’s work is held in numerous collections, including the U.S. Embassy in Swaziland, and she has exhibited at institutions such as the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, the Crocker Art Museum, and the Arnot Art Museum. Her practice bridges natural history, personal narrative, and environmental awareness with precision and empathy.
