Nadine Y. JenersTirilIn her minimalist paintings, German artist Nadine Y. Jenersmelds emotions with vibrant colors, with the entire expressioncentering around the careful etching of a single word. Here,complex ideas and feelings are reduced to a scarcity of lineand form defined primarily by brilliant hues. Each painting ismeant to be a very personal story of relationship, primarily thecorrelation between the various colors, the typography and theemotions each conveys — and how this is all translated fromartist to viewer.There is great energy in Jeners’ use of typography and singularwords in her art. Here, she relies not only on the power oflanguage but the strength of people’s diverse understandingsof certain words and how this directs their response. Yet despitethese differences of interpretation, there is a universalitypresent in her paintings, an element that each person canconnect with in his or her own way. It is Jeners’ greatest hopethat the viewer find something personal to relate to in herwork. “I think they can find themselves, their own emotion andexperience in the picture. Every eye can find its own detail . ..” she says, movingly.Nadine Y. Jeners has exhibited in Germany, Italy and theU.S. and was recently recognized with an award from theKulturhauptstadt 2010 project.www.wunschrausch.comwww.Agora-Gallery.com/ArtistPage/Nadine_Y._Jeners.aspxNola Acrylic on Canvas 48” x 30”Power - Made by MeAcrylic on Canvas 39” x 27.5”Tiril creates intuitive abstract paintings that are both daringand reflective. Each canvas is fresh and immediate, an intriguingblend of boldness and delicacy. The artist explores thedeep inner messages and emotions that bubble to the surfacewhen she keeps her mind free and unchained – but it isn’t alwayseasy. “The hardest part for me is not the beginning or theending of the communication,” she explains, “but remainingempty of myself throughout so that the concept may remainpure.”Tiril approaches each new piece as an adventure, withoutany preconceived notions, carefully keeping her mind in anempty, Zen-like state. Audacious impasto strokes and shapescomplement graceful washes and assertive color, melding toform a body of work that is truly mesmerizing. Typically, sheworks with a limited palette that embodies the overall moodof a piece, choosing to focus on the shapes, line, and movementthat merge to form a concept. Some of her work is almostentirely black and white with accents of color to heighten theemotional impact; some of it is brashly colorful. Because shedoes not limit her art with planning and structure, concepts arefree to emerge fresh and whole.Born and raised in London, Tiril currently lives in Alabama. Shehas been painting seriously for ten years.www.artbytiril.comwww.Agora-Gallery.com/ArtistPage/Tiril.aspx108 ARTisSpectrum
