About Monstera G
Jahn Page creates fun and contemporary artworks that cleverly combine his skills as a painter, and graphic designer. This series of acrylic and oil paintings is dedicated to the ‘drama’ of the common houseplant. Page uses a shaped canvas in this painting—part of a series he calls ‘Positive Gestures.’ The addition of Page’s signature gestural markings in bright yellow draws the viewer’s eye and adds interest to a ‘traditional’ image.“In this particular piece, the Positive Gesture is mimicking the arrangement of the Monstera and how it reads/flows from left-to-right. Both the subject matter and sculptural elements are centered and obvious.” Jahn Page
