Artist Statement

In these works I am continuing my fascination with color exploration. These hues, from the South Pacific, give me the challenge of balancing forms and energetic brushwork. By abstractly using the imagery and highly saturated colors from this area of the world, my paintings are taking a new bold direction. The strength, exuberance and spirituality inherent in this area of the world are depicted in these works.

“Seduced by color on a recent journey to the South Pacific, artist Joyce Wenglowski has abandoned herself to the power of the brush. The resulting body of work, commanding in its simplicity and rich in chromatic and gestural strength reveals an artist increasingly sure of herself, willing to take risks and able to recognize when less is definitely more.”

“…An artist long steeped in a sense of place, she often uses her experience of the natural world as a point of departure…”


“… something seen or felt serves as Wenglowksi’s starting point; she then moves beyond it into an exploration of the paint itself. Her experiments with chromatic combinations, often through transparent overlays of color, complement her expressive gestures. She allows these two elements to stand on their own and results are fresh and vigorous.”
