Jenny J. Foster |
Jenny
J. Foster assumes her style is a
reflection of her happy childhood. A native Arizonan, she grew up
along the Colorado River surrounded by petroglyphs, pottery shards and
relics left by ancient ones.
The simple, strong beauty of those designs and symbols from the past, have collectively unconsciously found their way into the paintings and sculptures which she creates today. Primitive, bold and contemporary, slathered with layers of color, abstract forms and deep textures, Foster's work is a celebration of colors, creatures and the spirit of life. Her constant goal is to create pieces that speak to the heart immediatelystirring strong emotional reaction. Spontaneous and strong. The challenge is to create personality and expression, always aware of the balancing act of keeping it simple and not going too far with detail. Too much attention to the realistic aspects of the subject, she believes, takes away the energy and charm of her unique style. Her style has been described as purposely reckless, primitive yet contemporary, gentle while being strong, bold but sweet, powerful, joyful and refreshing. She likes the "purposely reckless" description the best. |
