JOANNE KLEIN
Joanne’s work has evolved over a twenty year period from realistic renderings to surrealist landscapes and finally to the current abstract compositions. She works in oil on canvas and oil pastel on paper. Her paintings are composites of geometric shapes filled with highly saturated color. Deconstruction, reduction and rebuilding are primary means of developing her imagery. The art historical movements of Russian constructivism, abstract expressionism and minimalism among others inform her work, as does a strong interest in contemporary architecture.
