About the Item

This 24" x 24" mixed media work by Washington based artist, Janice Tayler presents a vibrant, layered composition that exemplifies contemporary abstract expressionism. The piece combines acrylic paint, ink, and newspaper collage on canvas to create a richly textured surface that invites close examination. The color palette is dominated by warm yellows, oranges, and ochres that contrast dramatically with cool blues, deep navy, and forest greens. These colors appear to flow and intersect across the canvas in both gestural brushstrokes and more controlled applications. The interplay between warm and cool tones creates a sense of depth and visual tension throughout the composition. The newspaper collage elements are strategically integrated into the painted surface, with fragments of text and newsprint visible beneath translucent washes of color and more opaque paint applications. The ink component contributes to the work's linear qualities, with dark gestural marks and flowing lines that seem to both define forms and dissolve them. These inked elements create movement across the canvas. The paint application varies from thin, translucent glazes that allow underlying layers to show through, to more impasto-like passages where the paint has been applied more thickly, creating actual texture on the canvas surface. This variation in paint handling adds to the work's visual complexity and creates areas of both clarity and ambiguity. The overall composition suggests a landscape-like quality without being representational, with areas that could be interpreted as sky, water, or terrain. The work demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of color relationships, compositional balance, and the expressive potential of mixed media techniques. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Tayler now resides with her husband in the Pacific NorthWest. Since 2004, she has sold and exhibited her work across Canada, the USA, and Europe. In Canada, she is represented by Warehouse Artworks. In the USA, she is represented by Ryan James Gallery in Kirkland, Seattle, and 1515 Lincoln Gallery in Oklahoma City. "My artworks evolve through a hands-on exploration of materials. I use images from photographs and drawings of the devastation of the urban landscape from natural and manmade disasters, architectural skeletal structures such as unfinished construction or demolished sites, partly finished bridges, and abandoned and decaying industrial sites. The canvas transforms into a dynamic space for spontaneous brushwork, charcoal gestures, bold strokes of ink applied with a roller, dripping paint from a brush or container, and materials such as paper or cardboard collaged on the surface. I work quickly and intuitively. I shift between the wall and the floor, engaging in a rhythmic duet with the canvas. I turn it from a horizontal to a vertical orientation. I build up the surface and then strip it away, revealing the layers beneath. The process serves as a metaphor for the complexities of life, representing a collision of expression and moments in time."
