Connected by Jane Downing
July & August 2020
At a time when many of us are feeling new degrees of isolation, Jane Downing is interested in the ways in which we remain connected to each other. Through family, friendships, interactions, or just being on this planet together, Jane is interested in exploring new forms of connection.
Technology can sometimes create barriers between traditional forms of human engagement, yet also provides new forms of interaction. Jane feels that all living things are connected one way or another, “dependent, reliant and loved”.
Jane’s optimistic paintings showcase her love of colour and express her exploration into the essence of connection through art. Jane states that by “painting from within, I harness my emotions and life experiences”.
Her aim is to provoke thought, gratitude, nurture and caring for each other through her paintings in this exhibition.
