Canadian artist
Jan Wade
(Canada, 20th c)
was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and eventually moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada after she finished her education in Toronto. She is a mixed race visual artist, with her American father being of Black American and Native American descent and her mother being white. Both of her parents were from the Deep South, before they left the US and emigrated to Canada.
Jan Wade
was schooled in Canada in the visual arts has a fairly established body of work and has herself lived abroad, from stints in Cuba to South Africa. Her very personal and often political, socially concerned and charged work continues to change and to evolve and she has participated in many solo as well as group shows, including the first African Biennial in Johannesburg, South Africa after which she had the occasion to meet the late Black South African leader and anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela. In this black ink
drawing
on cotton rag paper,
titled
'Torso and All Nature'
realized in 2000, a woman's truncated figure, curiously with no head or arms, appears to be standing next to, perhaps hiding or seeking refuge behind a truncated and cut tree, with an isolated thundercloud looming overhead. With just three assembled pieces of graphic iconography, Ms. Wade creates her very personal visual language and kind of iconographic poetry, where things aren't what they appear to be at first glance and the simple juxtaposition and placement of disparate objects on the pictorial field or their proximity to other images, is what threads meaning and thematic unity into her work. Crisp, clean and challenging.
Wade
literally cleans everything that isn't necessary off the table, leaving only what is essential in telling the story she clearly needs to tell.
Amazing.
CONDITION:
Very Good to Excellent overall vintage condition.
