Virtual Studio Tour & Art Talk
In this strangest of years, come join me for a brief look at my studio, a few canvases from the recent past, and a peek at the newest series--inspired by the times in which we live.
About the Artist
Jean Synodinos is an emerging self-taught abstract artist who works primarily in acrylics, mixed media, resin, and concrete. She is devoted to the application of texture and hue to explore the perfect imperfection of nature, whether it's through her paintings (in private collections in eight states), or her hand-cast concrete bowls which have found homes in over 100 Austin homes. When not in her south Austin garage studio, Jean is writing fiction, making music, or trying to train a scoundrel of a dog.
Artist Statement
My work is an abstract exploration of the perfect imperfection of curves implied by nature as well as the lines imposed upon nature by people. Contrasts are key--through color, textured surfaces, resin, and the addition of other media to the canvas. In addition to paintings, my hand-cast concrete bowls seek to be both gracefully utilitarian and ruggedly decorative.
The Austin Studio Tour is a program of Big Medium.
