Jane Human is a British painter and printmaker living and working in rural East Anglia. At its heart, Jane's work is inspired by her love of open space and the seemingly inconsequential landscapes around her, made intriguing by her closely observed studies of shifting colour and light, rhythm and texture. In the studio these notes and ideas crystallise to create a powerful sense of place within her paintings. Jane constantly explores the rich territory at the edges and overlap of abstraction and representation. Her bold mark making is enhanced by her unique working process which utilises a two tonne 1940's offset press by which she builds countless fine layers of painted and mono-printed marks; each work will be in progress for many weeks as the image slowly resolves to create a textural richness and luminous colour.
Collected internationally, Jane's work is also held by public and corporate organisations in the UK and has been selected for many prestigious national exhibitions including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and The Royal Society of British Artists, National Open Art, and Originals National Print exhibition. Commissions have included work for film, murals and backdrops for clients including Channel 4/Greenpoint films, The Royal Mail, Cunard, Dulux, The World of Interiors Magazine.
