CHRISTIANE JANKO

Lyrical Harmony

Christiane Janko, the internationally renowned contemporary French artist, has developed a style that is indicative of her lifestyle, and uniquely her own. Regardless of her subject matter, her talent captures and conveys profound emotion through each brushstroke. Her symphonies enable you to feel a lyrical harmony, her still lifes an understanding of form, color, and texture, her landscapes a warm quiet peace and her seascapes a mysterious stir. Her fresh style compels attention but never overwhelms.

We find an intimacy in each canvas well supported by a simple and delicate transparency. Christiane Janko captures intimate details to describe her world through painting. Her symphonic compositions translate audible energy onto her canvases. Her musical paintings are truly compositions created by her controlled brush stroke, blended palate, and balance of color and form, shadow and light. These elements yield paintings of melodic fluency.

Christiane often enjoys painting still lifes with warm colors and perfectly balanced compositions. The pear, apple, and aubergine as well as varied bouquets of flowers are often subject to her examination and unique interpretation. Her work borders on the abstract but she is careful to maintain the essence of her subject matter which provides a feel of serenity and sobriety. Color and form are the essential elements that create a rhythm in her work. With her imaginative use of transparent but rich colors, and her treatment of glazes, Janko creates a delicate and sensitive composition. This is an artist who is destined for a great future.

Christiane also travels frequently and beautifully captures wonderful landscapes and seascapes from around the world.

Her awards are too numerous to mention but her art is internationally regarded and has been collected both privately and publicly. Gallerie Je Reviens is pleased and privileged to bring you the art of Christiane Janko for your viewing pleasure and consideration.
