Primal Fear is a retro "pulp" painting depicting a frightened fleeing woman in a dark pine forest with a cottage in the distance. Forests can be dangerous places and invoke a primal fear linked to our evolutionary past.
Jane is a well-known Brisbane artist whose paintings are held in private collections worldwide.
Artist Bio: Jane creates a variety of retro paintings. Her “Pulp” paintings incorporate images from the covers of cheap popular magazines of the 1930s to 50s that were designed to titillate and excite their audiences. These covers used an illustrative or comic book style. Often Jane places the scared or startled cover model into an incongruous or surreal background.
Her "Mythology" paintings hark back to various literary and cultural sources, including traditional fairytales, gothic horror stories, and other myths that we all grew up on, and present them with a new twist.
In Jane's "Wild West" paintings she appropriates movie stills of actors from classic Hollywood western movies of the 1940s and 50s and places the gun-toting protagonists in arid but beautiful desert landscapes. The mythology of the Wild West is based on the tough, self-reliant person who survives as best they can in the harsh and lawless frontier.
