Janice Freeman Art Talk
“I see each painting as a portal in life, a gateway to new experiences and perspectives, triggered by simple conversations or significant milestones. It fascinates me how viewers connect with my concepts and ideas. Some have shared their transformative moments, mentioning memories and emotions related to their own personal portals. Others find inspiration in the visual spectacle, colorations and the idea of constant growth the work conveys. I believe this multiplicity of interpretations adds further richness to the experience.”
She continues…”These Organic Abstractions seek to push the boundaries of my imagination and create works that invite the unleashing of emotions and imaginings, perhaps inspiring narratives that embrace the transformative nature of life.”
Janice Freeman
The artist has created throughout their career, various mediums, as well as uncanny landscapes set in vibrant colors. The large-scale works for ‘Portal’ are such examples, from the vivid hues of oil to the flowing qualities of watercolor as a way to further enhance the quintessential characteristics of her style.
In an accumulation of abstract, figurative, and surrealist forms Freeman creates an inviting world of her own. In her vision, landscapes inhabited with scenes of flora and fauna traverse to a transient state, becoming altered to the point where the familiar becomes unfamiliar. Within her large works, color seems to bloom into saturated hues of magenta and flame-orange that envelop one’s field of vision, taking the viewer into a dreamscape constantly shifting with every passing glance of flowing forms.
Artwork by Janice Freeman
In the journey which the pieces entice the viewer to begin, Janice Freeman’s work turns into a vehicle in developing a deeper sense of consciousness, further embedding a deeper sense of meaning within the ripples and painted patterns. It is in this entrancing quality, both visually and internally, which pull the viewers of Freeman’s work deeper into the journeys within the portals she creates. Bio and Link to Images Below.
