Jane McNichol (born May 19, 1952, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American painter known for landscape paintings in oil on canvas, drawings in charcoal, and monoprinting on paper. Her large-scale canvases of vast, open space are minimalist,[1] nearing the abstract. So, too, are her other works, whether they're city views from her studio or inspired by time with family and friends. She has been in 38 solo and group exhibitions in museums, galleries, and juried shows across the United States. Her paintings have hung in 10 corporate and public collections and currently are in 40 private collections. She lives and works in the East Village, New York City, New York, and in Blue Hill, Maine.
Biography
In 1974, McNichol earned a B.A. in studio arts from Temple University's Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While in the Temple program, in 1973 she spent a semester in Rome, Italy,[2] studying at the Villa Caproni.
Career
Her early landscapes were mostly done ''En plein air' while living and painting in the Philadelphia area. In 1987 she moved to Manhattan and began taking her easel on the road, spending a month in the American Midwest. She also spent time in Ireland and several weeks each summer on Long Beach Island, New Jersey. A large landscape, "Heartland," was featured as back-cover art in the August 1999 issue of Reader's Digest.
Mid-career, she switched from en plein air to painting in her studio, working from sketches, photographs, and memory. Her seascapes as well as more recent cityscapes, still lifes, and narrative snapshots of daily life reflect her focus on shapes, vivid color, and light.
Because she is drawn to large expanses of land and water, McNichol worries about what's ahead for environmentally compromised regions. In a 2006 solo show at Villanova University's Connelly Center, she included a series of large canvases depicting New Jersey's environmentally protected Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. Art Critic Victoria Donahue for The Philadelphia Inquirer described the series: "The subject is nature, distilled by a personal vision and unhedging manner in one of Villanova's best Art Gallery exhibits in recent memory."[3]
