If you, like me, received your introduction to the art world from your mother (Mine went so far as to dress as famous artists, by the way. Her van Gogh was complete with bandanged ear.) you'll appreciate the excitement I experienced when my mother expressed an interest in buying work by one of the artists I'd recently interviewed. She was simply floored by
Jeanette Pasin Sloan's remarkable still lifes. And I have to admit, I was thrilled by the prospect of seeing Sloan's work hanging in the family home.
If you (too) would like to see Sloan's work on your walls, you'll be pleased to hear that
Landfall Press has collaborated with the artist to produce a brand new print:
Dots II is one of Sloan's most ambitious prints to date, both for its impressive size (38x36.5) and the number of successive color overlays (nine). The painting represents the new direction Sloan's work is heading, a territory where the lines between representation and abstraction are blurred.
Incidentally,
Landfall publishes work from a wide range of artists and has done so for more than 30 years. If you have an hour to get lost in the archives, you could wind up spending two.
