About the Item

This complimentary pair of paintings place emphasis on the blending of intricate detail and strong composition. Extensive detail is found in the pearls made of paper collage building up delicate tone on tone textures. With the blending of paint and pencil work, the outcome is both expressive and refined. The black and off-white contrast offers a sense of glamour and timeless elegance. (Painting dimensions are 16"x16" each) // Andrea Stajan-Ferkul is a Canadian artist whose work conveys a sense of experimentation through the use of paint, fabric collage and abstract mark-making. While not exclusive to fashion, dresses have been a compositional focus throughout her oeuvre. With an emphasis on timelessness, her series of dress paintings shift between realistic representation and interpretive impressions. In contrast, her series of abstract works embrace minimalism, considerate to a restrained palette and composition. Stajan-Ferkul began her career in fashion advertising before shifting her focus to fine art in 2000. Her work has been exhibited widely through galleries and art fairs, and hangs in private and public collections across Canada, US and Europe. A graduate of Sheridan College of Art and Design, Andrea's paintings can be found in numerous public and private collections, her work has been published in magazines and book covers, and prints are distributed internationally. In 2009, Stajan-Ferkul was invited to exhibit her work in Ottawa’s Rideau Hall, hosted by (then) Governor General of Canada, Michaëlle Jean. keywords: pearls, black tie, black and white, contemporary art, black dress, tuxedo, fashion inspired, couture, texture, monochromatic,
