Jane Gottlieb – Shape of things

About the Artist

Artist Statement

Many years ago I took photographs for Frank Gehry.
I have been a huge fan ever since.
And I have photographed his architecture ever since.
This is a series from my photographs I took of his masterpieces of architecture,
in Bilbao and Los Angeles.
Inspired by Frank Gehry I have painted, combined, and enhanced my images
with the magic photoshop and my colorful imagination.

Artist Biography

I have been expressing my joy of art with paint, shapes and colors since I was very young. I started as a painter, evolved into a photographer, and eventually began hand-painting on individual Cibachrome photographic prints over 35 years ago.
Before Photoshop I found a way to express a unrealistic reality with the vivid, saturated and otherworldly colors.For the past 30 years I have been scanning my one-of-a-kind hand-painted prints and my library of 35mm Kodachrome color transparencies taken over the last 50 years while traveling the world.
I paint, combine and enhance my photographs with the magical Photoshop, creating my own idyllic colorful world!
My art has been shown worldwide in many solo exhibitions including:Butler Institute of American Art, Ohio; Colarinda Gallery, Lisbon, Portugal; MAD Gallery, Milan, Italy;
