JO FARRIS
Jo Farris bases her paintings on layering form with overlapping imagery. Classically trained, her paintings retain familiar subject manner in an abstracted tradition. She explores a complex interplay of method...dense surface texture, hard edge and organic passages, bold color balances areas of subtleties...to explore a world in flux, in opposites with the human condition.
As a resident of Georgia for over thirty years she continues to find far ranging landscapes from the blue mountains through urban compact to the coastal flatlands provide the visual vocabulary for her work. The basis for this work is from the root to branch. Modular, encapsulated areas in her paintings explore the various conditions of this contemporary life. This recent work has received high praise from the private sector and corporate alike.
