Johansen Newman
The Coming Storm of Words, Original Painting

2020

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Johansen Newman pictures a contemplative portrait of a woman writing a letter. It raises the question of which of the images on the wall, if any, the note is connected to. Five turtle doves surround her - a symbol of affection and often a term of endearment. "Each element of the painting has a meaning for me," shares Johansen.She quotes a stanza from After Done by Robert Blazer Stewart as a reference to the title:"And I love the coming storm of words.Slower and duller than desire."

  • Mixed Marriage
    By Maureen O'Hara Ure
    Located in Salt Lake City, UT
    "Mixed Marriage" by Maureen O'Hara Ure, mixed media on panel, 16 x 24 inches. Relying on sturdy panel to hold up to months, sometimes years, of revisions, O'Hara Ure slowly builds up an image, obsessively laying down marks in thin, sanded layers of paint, ink, and pencil to create a uniquely smooth, almost polished texture distinctive to her style. When a panel returns to her studio from a show, she may begin to tinker with the image, perhaps first sanding out or painting over just a section. "Often as not, I keep going and start all over, using gesso to erase any memory I have of the painting." "For over fifteen years, all of my major projects have begun with my drawing overseas in museums and at historical sites. I returned to my studio and set about using some of the raw ideas in my travel sketchbooks to begin developing new work, taking liberties with the art-historical material I had collected. The exhibit of new paintings on panel at Phillips Gallery...
