Janice Kovar
Artist member since 2022
ProDundas, Ontario
I am a Dundas based contemporary painter exploring the possibilities of both painting and sculptural assemblage. My work is informed by my interest in materiality and how we use materials to create expression. I am drawn to textural surfaces that are found in nature and in the landscape and play with the balance of order and chaos in abstraction through the use of fragmentation, distortion, and surface interplay.
