Artist Statement

I know cities. Growing up in New York provided me with an innate ability to pick up on the pulse and rhythm of any city. My aesthetic is heavily impacted by the city. A few years ago, my work was overtly political, more raw. Often, I’ll use acrylic paint, found objects, sometimes organic material like snakeskins or scrap metal on canvas. I tend to explore the current state of our physical and cultural environment including the isolating and apathetic effects induced by the social media culture. My work loosely draws from the influences of Duchamp, Rauschenberg, Bob Dylan and Elizabeth Bishop. I also draw on allusions of other cities where I have lived or traveled including Katmandu, Woodstock and Tel Aviv.

For available work and pricing info www.janlauren.com or contact Janlauren.greenfield@gmail.com for a Zoom showing.
