Freedoms, Original Painting

Artist Comments
This painting is about summer fun. Movement is used to reflect freedom. The painting is made with inks and dyes on rice paper and canvas, then coated with resin to enhance the colors and protect the surface. This piece is on gallery wrapped canvas and the painting continues around the sides. It comes ready to hang.

About the Artist
J. Concetta received her MA in Design from the University of Minnesota where she studied color theory under great artists. One professor, Marian-Ortolf Bagley, often said that a painting must work in all directions to be truly unified. So J. would test works by hanging them upside down, and in each direction. J. sold some paintings in Minneapolis after graduation, but went on to manage the ink and paint department of an animation studio. The intense hues of the inking technique, along with Paul Klee’s use of transparent color, strongly influence her current body of work.
