Joan E. Gardner Massive Painting 'Signed'

About the Item

"Now You Are One of Us" by Joan Gardner in 1984, beautiful vivid colors and thick texture. This is a large scale artwork. Gardner is a multi-media artist based in Connecticut. Joan Gardner’s prolific career as a painter focused primarily on the world of fantasy and parody. The unrestrained creative energy of her work is achieved through the use of playful and whimsical imagery interspersed with the darker side of fantasy. Her vocabulary is grabbed in bits and pieces from all over the art world as well as from her own autobiography. This material is brilliantly painted, colored and collaged into large and small theatrical allegories. Medieval imagery, Bruegel, Rousseau, the artist’s friends and lovers, Indonesian tales and chimeras (like the monkey and lion) all find a place in Joan’s richly painted narratives. Her profound love of paint, vigorous gesture, rich psychological content and art historical references were the sources and inspirations of her remarkable work. Vibrant colors and whimsical imagery lure us into the paintings – they capture and delight us with their enticing, nightmarish humor.
