Barbara Januszkiewicz
.
Barbara Januszkiewicz is an American, Washington, D.C. based, artist[1] best known for her neo color field paintings.
Work[edit]
Painting[edit]
Januszkiewicz's painting is informed by her interest in the overlap of the vocabularies of visual art and music.[2] She works in water media: watercolor and acrylic.[3] She has worked in watercolor and, in the manner of Helen Frankenthaler, in dilute acrylic on unprepared canvas.[4][5] She was mentored by Washington Color School artist Paul Reed[6] and her style incorporates elements of Color Field painting and of Abstract Expressionism.[5]
Film[edit]
Januszkiewicz made a television documentary about a traveling roadshow from Boston called Museum of Bad Art.[citation needed] Another documentary, Remembering The Present, was filmed in the Kreeger Museum in Washington, D.C.,[7][not in citation given] in July 2000.
In 2013 Januszkiewicz embarked on historical research for a documentary film titled "Unprimed Canvas".[8] Paul Reed acted as a historical consultant for the film.[9] This ongoing documentary project on the Washington Color School led her to request access to the Melzac Collection, the CIA's so-called "secret" collection of works of abstract art, in 2016, which she received.[1] In 1997 she interviewed Hilda Thorpe.[10]
Selected exhibitions[edit]
Januszkiewicz' solo exhibit "Color Riffs" was presented at the McLean Project for The Arts in 2015.[11] In 2018 her solo show "Acoustic Fields" exhibited at the Martha Spak Gallery[4] and her solo "Nitty Gritty" ran at the Arts Club of Washington.[12][better source needed]
Awards[edit]
In 2015 she opened a gallery space, Metro Micro Gallery and received a grant from Arlington County in 2017.[13]
In 1999 Januszkiewicz won an Arts Council of Fairfax County award.[14]
