Janice Sobel: Contours of the Mind at Agora Gallery
A pyrotechnic orientation and a keen interest in figuration forge the core of Janice Sobel’s thickly layered acrylic on canvas compositions. Her bold abstractions in scintillating jewel tones follow elemental themes – fire, water, earth and ether. Expanding and contracting across the foreground, her painterly gestures evoke the sweet rhythm of a lilting ballad or glacial spring. Sobel identifies painting as a ‘pure’ source of joy, enabling new ways of seeing and being seen. Inspired by lines of abstract motion, be they elegant or mundane, her paintings capture the contours of plants, industrial landscape and the human body. Absorbing the shape, color, edge and value of organic and inorganic matter in her environment, Sobel’s splendid meditations offer a glimpse into the jubilant pastures of the creative imagination.Born in the Southeast United States, Janice Sobel has spent most of her adult life in the West. She received her AA in Fine Arts from SMC and a BA from UCLA.
