Janna Watson | Skywriting Advance Preview

Toronto-based abstract artist Janna Watson has applied her signature elegant, yet playful, gestural abstract style to an anticipated new series inspired by clouds, the sky, and the Daoist philosophy of Wu Wei, or “effortless action”. Watson explains how she embraced Wu-Wei: “I meditate when I paint and really try to shut out all thoughts. I strive to become an equal player to each pigment.” Regarding her show title Skywriting: “The sky is my muse. It is no-place and all-places, and as a subject matter, it is my connective portal to nature. Unlike landscape, which references the topography of a specific place, the sky is a numinous entity that draws us toward a greater power.”
