June 27 - July 27, 2024
Studio Kroner is delighted to announce its upcoming exhibition, "Intuitive Abstracts," featuring the dynamic works of abstract expressionist Jolie Harris.
The opening reception will take place from 6-9 pm on Thursday, June 27, 2024, followed by an artist talk from 6-7 pm on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, and will conclude with a closing ceremony from 1-4 pm on Saturday, July 27, 2024.
Jolie Harris, a distinguished artist known for her ability to uncover chance patterns and visual phenomena in the natural world, brings her unique vision to Cincinnati. Trained at the California College of Design, The Art Academy of Cincinnati, and the Boca Raton Museum of Art School, Harris has exhibited her work in numerous solo and group shows across the United States and has international collectors.
Jolie's artwork delves into the evocative power of random patterns created through intuitive expression. Each painting begins with bold and spontaneous strokes, devoid of predetermined intention. As she builds layer upon layer, a distinct direction emerges, compelling her to follow its lead. Every mark communicates with her, guiding her to the next brushstroke, swipe, scrape, or drip. Harris employs a diverse range of tools, brushes, and mediums, constantly exploring fresh and innovative approaches to her work.
"I draw immense inspiration from music, dance, and the ocean. I revel in vibrant and subdued palettes that create compositions both visceral and lyrical. My paintings invite viewers to be moved by the emotions they evoke."
For Harris, painting possesses its own language, originating from the depths of her soul. She draws immense inspiration from music, dance, and the ocean. As a devoted colorist, she revels in the vibrant or subdued palettes that allow her to create compositions that are both visceral and lyrical. Her paintings invite viewers to approach them without searching for a predetermined meaning, but rather with a willingness to be moved by the emotions they evoke.
Paul Kroner, owner of Studio Kroner, expressed his enthusiasm for hosting Harris's work: "We are incredibly excited to showcase Jolie Harris's extraordinary talent. Her ability to capture the essence of natural phenomena through abstract expressionism is truly captivating. This exhibition is a testament to her skill and vision, and we look forward to sharing her work with the Cincinnati community."
Studio Kroner invites art enthusiasts and collectors to to join us for unforgettable experience that celebrates the innovative and emotive power of abstract expressionism.
