Artist Bio, awards and Exhibitions
Jeanette Jarville's work shows us a pictorial world in which
the figure and abstraction meld through the expressive power of
colour. She has created her own language which goes beyond
stylistic constraints and captures her intense spirit and
boldness. Her paintings point out the versatility of an artist
who moves from still-life, floral, landscapes and figures without
compromising her identity. Jeanette has developed a
distinctive way of painting and use of color that she explores
within her own unique style.
Born in Vancouver, BC Jeanette Jarville
had a natural talent in art making and began oil painting by the
age of 11. She spent much of her youth experimenting with different
mediums and objects within her painting and sculptural work and
enjoyed incorporating new and unusual methods with that of more
traditional ways.
Graduating High School with
Honors and an art scholarship she was then accepted into Emily Carr Institute
of Art & Design. She was awarded four scholarships while there
and received a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art, majoring in Studio,
in 1996. She also took the opportunity to study Art History and
Sculpting in Berlin, Germany, spending one year in Europe.
Jeanette was influenced by the abundance
of Old Masters works and the history within the landscape.
Recently Jeanette
has been focusing on painting on glass, a unique reverse process.
The reflection of light coming from the paintings create a luminescent and powerful
effect. She says her
paintings have a life of their own, her work comes from within,
and she is
constantly being driven to create.
