Exhibition Information
Her
origin, like that of Matisse, is in the flatlands
of North France but her home is in the heart of the
lush countryside of France's South West. The rich
red of the poppy-flower, the striking green of abundant
foliage and the sunny yellow of a summer meadow compose
Jalinepol's palette - Color has always been her inspiration.
In
1979 while visiting Africa, she found herself swept
up in the surrounding colors. Irresistibly drawn to
the multi-colored robes and wrappings of the African
culture, she began to fabricate single-piece dolls.
She discovered batik at this time and also began to
try her hand at her first oils. On returning to France
in 1984, JalinePol attended the Beaux-Arts where she
began to work with a palette-knife painting technique.
In these early years, the paintings of the Impressionist
masters greatly inspired her. During a period in the
South Pacific, she worked on watercolors, paintings
on silk, and pastels, all the while improving her
skill with the paintbrush and palette knife. She excelled
at the latter and began to teach this technique to
art students in group workshops in the North of France.
Today, many important private art collections include
JalinePol's paintings. Wherever her works are exhibited-
in France, in the USA and throughout the world, from
the South-Pacific to the Middle East -they are admired
and appreciated by all for their striking originality
and vibrancy.
