About the Item

Michelle Jader's "Falling Softly" is a beautiful, original oil painting on board. This piece rests at 14 x 22 x 3 inches, and is ready to hang. Change comes to all of us. Whether wanting or not, planned or spontaneous, willingly or forced. And the moments that follow are often the most terrifying, exhilarating, painful, beautiful and magnificently enlightening times in our lives. Sometimes there is no control over our fall – we land where we land. Sometimes we have a choice in the path we take. Sometimes we are led. And other times we’re on a white-knuckle ride that’s alternating between exhilaration and fear. But in every one of these situations there is a moment of pure vulnerability as we wait for the unknown to be revealed. Multifaceted and layered with countless possibilities, Jader explored a new painting process to capture these moments. Beginning with a photo shoot, multiple images are selected, several paintings are completed on different acrylic panels or mylar and they are stacked in front of one another. The result is 3-dimensional, ever-changing paintings. Jader earned her MFA from the Academy of Art in San Francisco after 20 years in the corporate world and 10+ years owning her own marketing consulting business, helping Fortune 500 companies launch new products. In early 2021 with the pressure of COVID in San Francisco mounting, she set out and started to travel across the U.S., finding more space, connecting and collaborating with other artists, and creating along the way. Her paintings are collected by art collectors internationally and her work has been widely published, including Beautiful Bizarre magazine, Juxtapose, American Art Collector, and Fine Art Connoisseur.

The Masque of Comus
Located in Atlanta, GA
"My work principally consists of deeply abstracted figure compositions--intuitive constructions that begin with random marks establishing larger masses of torsos, heads, and limbs in an undefined setting. The emphasis is almost purely on intuition. The figures are born of their surrounding environment, emerging only partially and fugitively from the layers of pigment. A narrative is evident but never overt. A crown, a shield, a boat, a wheel. Though the subject has recently coalesced around my reading of Dante and Shakespeare, the settings remain extremely vague- a beach, an interior, a woodland. The paintings are, in the end, meditations on the relationship between the protagonists in a wordless drama. In my paintings, I use a cold wax medium combined with dry pigments, oil paint, and embedded fragments of burlap. The surfaces eventually build up into a dense, rugged terrain." --Thaddeus Radell
