Jane Swavely
Jane Swavely attempts in her abstract paintings to reconcile romanticism and minimalism while referencing natural and cinematic elements. Swavely is shown by Magenta Plains Gallery in New York and lives and works in her loft on the Bowery. Her current show, Strawberry Fields, is on view at Magenta Plains through June 20.
The paintings unfold and they are quite a surprise by the time I’m finished with them. It’s a series of muscle memories, happy accidents, materials behaving in a way that you can’t entirely control.
