Bio
From the rural peninsula of Kernow, Tresidder completed his Bachelors with honours, at the University of Westminster in Mixed Media Fine Art, London UK, before studying for his MFA at Nova Scotia College of Art & Design, Mi’kma’ki. Often amassing in abstract diptychs and polyptychs, his work employs ideas of topography within minority languages, as a framework for decolonizing the vocabulary surrounding painting. Tresidder has dabbled with installation, print, film and curation, however his practice is centred in language and paint. His work investigates how colours are interpreted in local environs, and examines how devolving and de-Anglicizing colour palettes & theory, can give pigments a new context.
