October Feature Show

Caroline Jonas

 Works ON Glass

 Caroline Jonas translates an avid interest in patterns that exhibit historical and cross-cultural lineages into original, hand-painted works on glass. Acknowledging various influences such as Secessionist Vienna, the lingering twilight of Byzantium and Orientalist London during the 1880s, she renders her richly expressive pieces from this diverse language of design. Jonas  uses glass as a transparent canvas, a canvas capable of capturing light.

Reception with the Artist

Caroline Jonas was born in California, brought up  in Greece, England, Mitteleuropa and Canada. Her work has always been marked by highly detailed patterns, objects and shapes. Earlier work was mainly pencil on vellum; currently, she is pursuing the idea of light passing through the painting surface by experimenting with reverse-painted glass.
The artist lives in Toronto,  and exhibits in Canada and the United States.
