About the Artist...
Janne Kearney born Geelong 1962. Predominately a figurative and portrait artist, her paintings ask the viewer to disregard econceived perceptions of people, society and at times reality. Each painting invites you to contemplate, reflect, and reminisce; they are profound, evocative and at times humorous. The works are full of texture and color created in a contemporary realist manner and could be described as iconoclastic... they challenge or overturn traditional beliefs, customs, and values, consciously utilizing both traditional and innovative techniques, her work explores retro and neo kustome culture.
