Janet McNulty is an artist based in the Chicagoland area. Her work explores her inner world. Passions, grievances, joys and struggles, are exposed and celebrated through gestural paint strokes. The paint, like skin, bears the energetic markings of life experiences. Thus, bringing the inside out and encouraging each of us to embrace our own complexities.
"Alter Ego" examines the many complexities of personality. Each painting representing a deeper look into specific traits that may cause disharmony, conflict or resolution.
"Abstract Landscape" implies sun, moon, water and figures morphing into the space.
"Through the Looking Glass" is a glimpse into some of my personal struggles and revelations. The series then broadens into some of the issues women are facing today.
"Black and White" examines figurative drawing while providing a story.
"Full Circle" is a fusion of many of my past collections in which I incorporate figures, faces and again a narrative that implies a memory or a dream.
"Eternal Love" examines figurative drawing while providing a story.
"It Takes Water" began with a cleansing of my painting palette with a need for quiet and serenity. It quickly evolved into blurred figures in the water evoking memories from a distant past.
"It Takes a Village" began with a deep contemplation about the broken world we are living in and the need for people to flock together as a united front in order to lire in a more harmonious world.
"Blued" brings to the canvas the aftermath of psychological warfare and the stain it leaves on the human spirit. Through this lens, the wondrous strength and resilience of spirit pierces through.
"Bitten" exposes the ravaging effects of emotional betrayal. It simultaneously portrays the profound ability, inherent in womankind, to rise above the ruins towards reconstruction.
"Bathed" depicts the resuscitation of a broken spirit and the transformative journey of emancipation. Through the collective energy of soul sisterhood, wholeness is restored immersing the goddesses in the celebration of self-love, inner strength, and well-being.
"Colors and shapes conspire as a perfect cocktail with precious ingredients to make us reflect on what surrounds us. Janet McNulty looks out at the stars from her peculiar balcony in order to gain a greater understanding of art and life. She’s a terrestrial artist who’s connected with the universe and the transcendental, and lives solely on instinct. It can be defined that her evocative work is governed by her soul and intuition. "
