Jane Dell / Other Voice on Green

ARTIST STATEMENT
Environmental Chaos Series
My inspiration is nature, which increasingly finds itselfin a losing

battle for survival. The balance that once existed between people

and the planet is being replaced by confusion and concerns about

the future. Things are spinning out of control.

Using the artistic tools I’ve developed over a lifetime my paintings

create tension and meaning through contrast. Seductive and

pleasant images are played off against images that are

unexpected and uncomfortable. Lyrical forms contrast with

geometric shapes. Lush, rich colors bump up against

monochromatic fields. The result is a whirlwind surface

in which shapes and forms race across the picture frame

and dart in and out in 3-dimensions providing a

visual equivalent of the disconnect between human beings

and the natural world.

but her painting/printmaking teacher from Pratt Institute,

Jack Sonnenberg, instilled a love and respect for art history

New Jersey and New York, including City Without Walls

Gallery, Montclair State University Gallery, George Segal Gallery,

1978 Gallery in Maplewood, Kling Gallery in Montclair, New Jersey,
