Curator’s Monday 132 - Tumblr Artist

Jane Radstorm | on Tumblr (USA)

Jane Radstrom is a painter and designer based in Austin, TX. After studying drawing and painting at Watts Atelier California, based on meticulous renaissance traditions of masterful realism, Jane attended Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL, earning a BFA in Illustration. Jane creates works which she considers to be contemporary realism. “I have been inspired by photographic effects, specifically the manipulation of exposure to create images that look “real”, but contain more than a single still image. In choosing poses, I focus on nuances of body language and expression. It is important to me to show unidealized beauty and what I think of as a modern sense of confidence in candid moments. I hope that when you stand in front of a piece you can feel the presence of the person depicted.” Great thanks to artforadults for introducing us Jane Radstrom.
