About the Item

I think of my paintings primarily as landscapes. Recently, these landscapes appear to be more manufactured than organic. At first glance the subjects seem to be monumental forms such as prairies, and mountains, upon closer inspection they could be smaller, more manageable things, such as objects on a blanket or figures on a rug. The subjects appear tactile and are ambiguous in scale. The paintings are composed in a shallow, semi-aerial perspective and the forms within them are usually depicted in three dimensions. Each work employs an aspect of illusion, such as we see in traditional paintings. Yet, upon examination, the forms depicted seem to be composed of nothing other than paint itself, or perhaps a related material, such as modeling clay. These are abstract compositions that have risen slightly, above the two-dimensional plane, in order to refer to a multitude of things. Although I consider these paintings to be landscapes, they are not often compiled of objects that resemble grass, or trees, or water. The ground of the painting is simply paint. It twists and transforms, becoming buildings, targets, ropes, sticks, worms, cones, clouds, bubbles, and areas of flat colour. The ground is an unreliable element caught in the act of self-transformation. There is a sense of movement in the paintings that challenges the weight and solidity of objects depicted. These are works that use the language of abstract painting to question the nature of representation.

The Other, Abstract Oil Painting on Canvas, 42x42 Inches, 2010+

By Judith Berry

Located in Montreal, Quebec

The themes visited in this show stem from a desire to extend the vocabulary of my painting while forming a metaphor for the chaos of contemporary life. The title, Escalade, has differing and complimentary functions in English and French. Continuing to paint, over a lengthening career, the medium poses more questions than answers. The title is a reference to my attempt to overcome these difficulties through the expansion of my painting language. The title also refers to the escalation of crises in the world at large. It is the larger picture in which I am a small person trying to make my way. In a concrete sense, the title also refers to a strategy I have taken in a number of these paintings. That is, to re-examine very small paintings...

A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with the artwork, ensuring that the piece is an authentic work of art from Janette Dye. Born in England in 1962, Janette Dye's artistic journey was shaped by the contrasts and movements of her upbringing in a quaint village near the industrial city of Manchester. Early on, she received guidance from the renowned English painter, Harold Riley, igniting her lifelong passion for art. Later, the works of Riley's mentor, L.S. Lowry, resonated deeply with Dye, reflecting the strained moods of Northern factories and their laborers—a subject intimately connected to her family history. Inspired by Lowry's ability to capture overpowering emotions through strong stylized forms, Dye delved into abstract art, discovering a profound connection between her art and everyday life. In recent years, Dye has had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed artists such as DOWNS, mentored by Karl Benjamin and Frederick Hammersley. Her artworks have graced exhibitions throughout the United States and have found a home in the prestigious Capital One corporate collection.
