Janie Stevens, an artist of profound skill and vision, captivates with her exceptional hand-carved stone and wood sculptures. Her artistic journey is deeply influenced by the natural world and the timeless allure of antiquity, elements that resonate throughout her distinctive body of work. Stevens's sculptures are predominantly figurative, yet she masterfully abstracts these forms, inviting viewers to engage with her pieces on a deeper, more interpretive level. A hallmark of her creations is their extreme tactility; each curve, line, and texture invites touch, creating an multi-sensory experience that connects the audience directly with the material and the artist's hand. More recently, Stevens has expanded her artistic repertoire to include steel, showcasing her versatility and innovative spirit. In this new medium, she produces rhythmic and organic sculptures that powerfully symbolise the circle of life, adding another layer of depth and meaning to her already compelling artistic narrative. Janie Stevens' work at Stephenson's Gallery offers a unique exploration of form, material, and the enduring cycles that shape our world.
