About Jeanne
Jeanne is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.
In my current works I am exploring the decorative elements of the various familiar traditions and cultures in South Africa, as well as my own, past and present and translated them onto the canvas.
In this new context I explore decorative images as the decorative, but also as the narrative where the formal communicates with the expressive, the figurative with the abstract and various mediums with one another as the various cultures meet and communicate in a visual language.
My work is also about the process of creating an image. As I transfer my energy onto the canvas, so the image responds and reciprocates, entering into a dialogue with me, a free exchange where the unconscious can react to what my consciousness is perceiving so that the image may emerge as it wants and needs to.
I attempt at all times to remain as receptive as possible to what I see, leaving all preconceptions behind so that the colours, the lines and the shapes take on their own life.
My work is also about the materials I use and their properties and I try to respect them with all the integrity that I have.
