Joanna Kitas
Joanna Kitas is a brilliant artist who produces oil and wax on canvas pieces, so deep in colours, texture and movement.There is a serenity to the work of artist Joanna Kitas.
She uses so many layers of paint that you find yourself looking deep into the painting, and the beauty of them is that there is nothing static about them. Her paintings are investigations into the world of mood and colour, dreams and imagination expressed through constant layering and the dissolving of imagery and form. Her work is unique in that each painting changes depending on the lighting, time of day and position in which it is placed making them a powerful medium for linking the colours of a room.The art work can be placed in a room where conventional artwork would not work. A large piece can be placed in a small room and due to the texture and beauty of each unique piece , it compliments and the space opens up to embrace the work . On many occasions the room will look larger. A picture paints a thousand words ……each piece has its own story , as time goes on the story develops
Born in NSW and a graduate of the National Art School, Joanna has exhibited her works extensively and has been selected for many prestigious art prizes throughout her career including the Rick Amor Drawing Prize, Portia Geach Memorial Award and Brett Whiteley travelling art scholarship.
