Impulse

Size:79 x 87 in.

Tabitha Millett’s original painting Impulse, measuring 39" x 47", is a striking exploration of precision, texture and movement. Executed in her signature minimalist style, this piece presents a sweeping arc of hand-mixed paint, radiating from a central void and capturing a moment of pure energy and intention. The broad, tactile sweep of pale grey is perfectly balanced against the soft, neutral background, creating a visual tension between stillness and momentum. Every mark, from the deliberate curve to the incidental splatters, speaks of Millett’s mastery of restraint and her deep understanding of materiality.

Crafted with her distinctive blend of mediums, including marble dust and limestone fragments, the paint takes on a rich, velvety quality, enhancing the tactile allure of the surface. The subtle variations in texture and tone draw the viewer in, inviting close inspection of every layer and trace.

Inspired by minimalism, brutalist design and Bauhaus principles, Millett’s work embodies her philosophy of ‘doing less’ to achieve greater depth and intensity. Her perfectionist nature is evident in the meticulous balance and clarity of Impulse, where simplicity becomes profound. A tenured Assistant Professor at the University of Cambridge, Millett’s academic and artistic worlds merge seamlessly, resulting in powerful, thought-provoking pieces exhibited across Europe.
