Renowned artist Jan Gardner RCA is opening a new solo exhibition at Caernarfon gallery, Life: Full Colour, on 5th March.

The exhibition, ‘The Places In Between’ will feature around 20 original watercolour and acrylic pigment paintings by the Conwy-based artist.

Each painting captures Jan’s unique response to her surroundings, featuring lush, expressive landscapes imbued with optimism and hope.  The exhibition provides a visual journey and a narrative to lose yourself in.

Sara McKee, Life: Full Colour founder and curator, said, “We’ve launched this year’s solo exhibitions with Jan’s show because we simply love her work. It’s so easy to lose yourself in the colour and poetry of Jan’s landscapes. They are full of joy and hope, which is everything we need right now.”

In ‘The Places In Between’ Jan has brought together a collection of artworks around a personal narrative, passion and expression on paper in mixed waterbased media, including ink, collage and pastel and acrylic pigment on canvas and linen.

“When I’m curating an exhibition, the paintings work together because it’s a continuum of my story, my visual language. My work is about intuition, possibilities, celebrations, and importantly my own imagination, feelings and sensory responses. It is deeply personal,” explained Jan.

Influenced by her home in north Wales, wild places further afield, and journeys, Jan reflects nature’s beauty and landscapes in her work. She crafts with the subtle nuances of water-based media combined with layered textures and mark-making to create her distinct style.

Jan is a member of the Royal Cambrian Academy, Conwy, and a member of the Royal Watercolour Society of Wales. Her exhibition, “The Places In Between” will be at Life: Full Colour from 5th March to 2nd April 2022. All work will be available to buy and art lovers can utilise Collectorplan’s 0% finance to bring Jan’s work home.

Life: Full Colour is located at 23-25 Hole in the Wall Street, Caernarfon. It is open every Wednesday to Saturday, 11am to 6pm.  A virtual tour of the exhibition will be available.Read more about Jan’s love of painting and passion for colour in this interview here, and enjoy a selection of Jan’s work below.
