JAN MCCARTHY ART
I like to view the abstract part of life through art.
Each piece that I paint is inspired by real life visuals, infused with multiple layers of varying materials to create texture and possibility. My signature style of intuitive painting includes abstracts, figure painting, and landscapes. I mostly use a color palate that excites the imagination, creating a luxurious blend of white and beige to present a calm escape and thoughtful reflection, or incorporate black and other dark meaningful colors to respect the elegance and mystery life has to offer. Occasionally I will pop out a bit of color in my paintings and sometimes challenge myself to go beyond my comfort zone and embrace many colors in all their glory. The art often tells the untold story of a single thought, simple in its first impression, yet complex when viewed in its entirety.

BETWEEN SILENCE AND STONE
This work draws from a landscape where light bleaches walls to bone and time leaves its record in plaster, stone and dust. Layered surfaces echo hand-built architecture, worn passage-ways, and the quiet geometry of places shaped by sun and centuries of movement. Every alleyway and cobblestone path mark moments as though there is no beginning and no end. Arched doorways look towards the sun or fall to shadows that call out for a moment to pause or leave remnants of past journeys, prayers and daily rituals. An enduring place with ancient history that pays homage to what came before and holds you in quiet observation as you forge your own path into the future.
