Jolanta Johnsson
Intimacy in Her Body in Black and Red

2023

About the Item

Jolanta Johnsson, experienced Polish artist, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, PhD of fine arts, university teacher. She currently lives in Sweden. This is how she writes about this piece: "Intimacy, as portrayed in this artwork, encompasses the entirety of the human body which is a visual representation of a person's existence, particularly focusing on the female form. Intimacy acts as a protective barrier for the body, allowing the individual to decide who can breach this barrier and gain access. Certain areas of the body are especially safeguarded, as they serve as gateways into the essence of the human being, both physically and psychologically. It is within these realms that intimacy and eroticism intertwine, creating an enigmatic aura surrounding the human body. Black and red are colours that can be seen as opposing each other. Black absorbs visibility, red draws attention, signals. Black space interspersed with streaks of red signals an ambiguous intimacy definition." The creation of this artwork utilises the monotype technique, a process involving the artist's use of stencils, which are meticulously drawn and cut out. Additionally, a relief print is applied from a linoleum matrix, adding depth and texture to the piece on professional, high quality Fabriano paper. Hand-painted elements further enhance the uniqueness of each work. The term "monotype" signifies the singularity of the artwork, as while multiple copies may exist, each piece is distinct and stands as a one-of-a-kind creation.

Seven colors were applied on a cardboard of about 350gr. A large format, for which Dorothy is inspired by Robert Graves' book The White Goddess, published in 1948. It is one of the most desirable multiples of Dorothy lannone. Dorothy Iannone (August 9, 1933 – December 26, 2022) was an American Artist. Her autobiographical texts, films, and paintings explicitly depict female sexuality and "ecstatic unity." She lived and worked in Berlin. The majority of Iannone's paintings, texts, and visual narratives depict themes of erotic love. Her explicit renderings of the human body draw heavily from the artist's travels and from Japanese woodcuts, Greek vases, and visual motifs from Eastern religions, including Tibetan Buddhism, Indian Tantrism, and Christian ecstatic traditions like those of the seventeenth-century Baroque. For the High Line in New-York, Iannone creates a new, large-scale mural installation at 22nd St. Iannone’s mural features three colorful Statues...
