\"Jena Not in our Woods, 2013<\/p>\n

Miami-based artist\u00a0Jena Thomas creates mesmerising landscape paintings using bold colours, simple geometrical shapes and varying textures. Depicting\u00a0manmade objects such as gas stations, swimming pools and newly planted trees in unexpected palettes ranging from pastels to technicolor, her beautifully textured paintings capture\u00a0the beauty of everyday sceneries.
\nIn an\u00a0interview with SLEEK Art<\/a>, the painter\u00a0told Corinna H\u00fcbl that moving to Miami completely transformed her working practice: “I no longer set up a traditional palette like I used to do”, she revealed. “Instead I source colours from snap shots that I take when I am out in the city. I recently made a painting that superimposed the colour from a laundromat that I go to in Little Havana. I love the combinations of the pastel turquoises, pinks and yellows with the natural earthy greens and browns of the grass and trees. The light is amazing here, the colours are\u00a0fully saturated and there are certain times of day where it is so bright that objects seem to dissipate into the sunlight”.\u00a0And it’s not only the light of Miami that has had an influence on the artist’s practice. Her preoccupation with manmade landscapes and human interventions in nature\u00a0has grown increasingly fond in the\u00a0city where golf courses, patios and swimming pools grow like trees.
\nThomas has exhibited extensively in Florida and New England, with recent exhibitions at the Fernando Luis Alvarez Gallery, Boca Raton Museum of Art, and Art Palm Beach. Recently, she has been taking her experimentations with colour even further, working on a number of paintings reminiscent of photo negatives.<\/a>
