Janet Slom: Trilogy Part I

(Carol Jazzar Garage: 150 NW 91st St., El Portal,FL 33150)

Art Critic Elisa Turner about the artist recent works:

The Paintings of Janet Slom

“For “Trilogy: Part 1,” the natural world is rendered with vibrant essence in three 2020 works on paper from her “Enchanted Forest” series. This spirited cascade of mark-making unleashes a mutating space of landscape and figuration commingling with abstraction. It is heightened with bursts of Fauvist color. Recurring shapes, evoking masked heads and beings stripped to a skeletal essence, conjure a place that seems more wilderness than forest. It flirts close to a restless fever dream. This series is adamantly resistant to pretty myth-making.”Elisa Turner’s Essay: “One Mark Leads to Another”.

About the artist:

A meditation teacher, Ms. Slom reveals how to explore and conjure the mysteries of existence. Not surprisingly, her mixed media work also represents an immersive, experiential process of creativity. She sees her art more like visual poetry, a personal language linking her inner landscapes to an outer beauty within the natural environment.

An installation and performance artist, dancer, and mindfulness practitioner, she finds meaning and compassion in life through her art and invites others to join her. Nestled in her quiet Coral Gables studio, this exhibit offers an immersive experience of solace and tranquility, bringing hope to darkness and expressing the vulnerability of all life during trying times.
