Figurative Artist Jayne Adams

Jayne Adams is a fine artist whose work is primarily figurative oil paintings on wooden panel supports. Her process is a layered application of drawing, paint, and glazing, creating a surface texture and finish that is significant to the outcome of each piece. Expressive mark making and color layering is sustained throughout, allowing for a varied surface, heightened color, and visual intrigue. Margins often extend beyond the actual image as the subject drifts outside the given painting space. The results are a visual energy that is the undertow for the attention of each piece.

Adams is our newest figurative artist working from live models trying to capture the essence of work and the heaviness of work after a long.

There is so much more going on in these pieces. Adams uses very little color in the figures, sometimes it's the short burst of color that bring the figure and story all together.




We are proud to include Adams as part of our 2010 line up.
