Artist Statement

As a contemporary artist with a background tethered in design, Tic Ikram’s work is informed by both disciplines. Her unique narrative encapsulates California living and coastal symbols reimagined as aesthetic objects. Known for exploring iconic shapes and textures, Tic’s reductive artworks respond to the tactility of her environment, whilst constructing its complexity in minimalist form. Her signature approach is recognized by her bold palette selections, smooth gradient transitions, and compositional balance. Her practice speaks to the central concern of the ethical responsibility we have with our surroundings and supplies a commentary on its power and fragility.
