Recent Paintings: Janet Rickus
Past exhibition
Overview
Janet Rickus
BOWL OF APPLES, 2017
Oil on Canvas
18 x 24 in. (45.7 x 61 cm.)
In her meticulous still lifes, Rickus combines vibrant arrangements contrasted against muted gray backgrounds. Although her subjects derive from the everyday, ceramic dishes and handpicked fruits and vegetables are elevated through Rickus’ emphasis on their color and form. Their purposeful orientations in her compositions are intended to subtly evoke impressions of human relationships.
This exhibition of recent works is co-curated by Bernay Fine Art and Gallery Henoch of New York City. Rickus’ long career has included significant shows at both galleries, as well as two museum retrospectives.
