Solving For X

2018

Artist Comments
Many thin layers of paint were applied to the panel and then sanded and scraped back, then more reapplied with pigment rubbed in with a cloth creating a foggy atmospheric piece. This painting comes in a custom black frame.

About the Artist
Janine’s abstract artworks are created with measured doses of both intuition and analysis. “My work develops as a series of calls and responses,” she says. She adds color, letting gravity pull the paint around. She then responds to the direction of the composition with additional marks, adding and subtracting. The incorporation of recognizable forms, specifically letters and numbers, indicates the influences of Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg on Janine’s work. Janine is also inspired by listening to jazz music. She is a musician herself, and plays in a local Zimbabwean marimba ensemble when she’s not painting.
