Artist of the week: Jane Georges

The artwork of Jane Georges combines the concepts of processing and documenting the intersection of life’s experiences and how these experiences are affected by every new situation. Through the idea of creating art without conscious intention she strives to be honest with the movement her hand creates while remembering these experiences. Her use of vibrant color, with varying degrees of opacity and transparency, illustrate the importance of each layer (a significant life experience) and how they affect change in the next.
As a painter, her work is remnant of her interest in relief printmaking; wood cuts, linoleum cuts, colographs, monotypes, and silkscreen to be specific. She became interested in printmaking through the creation of editions and the repetitive editing of an idea or thought; though appreciates one of a kind pieces, in which the process of painting offers. Through reworking ideas she feels that repetition can evolve and create change, progress. The way she processes her life experiences, organically and in layers, defines her identity as an artist; the hand being the essential tool.
Through juxtaposing the idea of editions within printmaking methods with painting, her most recent work involves paint (acrylic, oil, and paint markers). She experiments with paint on different media, including wooden panels, canvas, and paper. Most recently she has used paper as her canvas, and through repetitive yet spontaneous folding, has created a new texture that enables her to be more conscious of how her hand is moving while she paints. She is very interested in the physical process itself of creating, in many cases over and above the outcome, and hopes to continue to experiment with new textures and media to create new platforms upon which will affect change in her artistic process.
