Where Sky Meets Earth

2 March 2023 - 25 March 2023

We are delighted to produce this exhibition of new work by Janise Yntema, an American artist who lives and works in Brussels. She combines fine art with philosophy and specialises in the ancient painting technique of beeswax encaustic. Since 2000, Janise has encompassed our landscape and atmospheric weather into her practice: Scotland has become her spiritual home.

My painting methods reflect the possibilities of layered histories: starting points, erasures and eradications through an accumulated language of restrained colour and line. Janise Yntema

Janise Yntema

Born: 1962

Place of Birth: New Jersey, USA

Janise Yntema was born in New Jersey in 1962 and studied at Parsons School of Design and Art Students League of New York. Based predominantly in Brussels she is a landscape painter who works using wax encaustic and pigment, and more recently digital photography. Yntema has exhibited her work extensively in solo shows in London, New York, Amsterdam and Belgium. Her work is held in public collections worldwide including Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and Gutenberg Museum, Germany.

In my work, I have sought to create a quiet rarely experienced in modern life, spaces one can enter as worlds unto themselves, psychologically vast fields where stillness might be audible.

Janise presents her solo exhibition Where Sky Meets Earth in March 2023.
