Alex+Janvier



Post here to write about Alex Janvier. I will go first to show you an example!

This is called "Abstraction," by Alex Janvier. It is a painting. It has many fluid lines that seem to meet somewhere in the middle - it looks like it is moving! I did not find a story about this particular piece of art, but I found it really cool that this artist is from Alberta! The colours and shapes make me think of Native costumes that I have seen before. The colours remind me of prairie earth and sky the circle in the middle makes me think of the sun. It is called abstraction and in our painting unit we learned how abstraction can make something familiar look unrecognizable. Maybe this artist is telling a story about the earth or the sky. I think it is beautiful because of the moving lines and the colours against the white background.

 * This is a really nice painting. I like how it looks like someone just threw a paint can at a canvas and then added some details.


 * I really enjoy the work of Alex Janvier! The abstract style he has is very unique, as well as aesthetically pleasing.


 * This painting is really random and looks cool with the lines and colors.

This picture caught my eye very well and has alot of details to look at. I was trying to figure out what it looked like but it's very hard. It is also very unique because I have never seen anything like it before.

The colors and mix of straight and curvy lines really looks nice.

This is a very abstract style. No surprise coming from Alex Janvier. It is called Brown Spot. Although, there was no story, so i can't explain that. - I like how Janvier does his abstract and uses colours, it makes it seem more vibrant. -

This piece of art is very abstract, I really like the vibrant colors used and the use of lines. It is very unique from any other First Nations painting I have seen before. This piece of art is called 'Tsetsaut - Northern Athabascan Series - Acrylic on Linen.' I do not know the story of this painting, but it would be interesting to know what it is.

This is a really interesting peice. It's one of those pictures that you have to stare at for a couple minutes to really get through to the artist to see what their message in it is. I love the colors, and it is really pretty

I really like this picture! I love how he used curved lines and no straight lines.

This is an abstract painting by Alex Janvier, and I think it is one of his best. It is called "Transmission". He uses a lot of complimentary colors like purple and yellow along with long strokes of color that meet in the middle. And though there is no real story I think people will still like this painting as much as I do. Alex Janiver is a great artist and I really enjoyed different pieces of his work.

 * I like this picture because of its abstract qualities and the colours Alex used. This reminds me of a picture I have in my room, the types of lines and movements convay the same feeling.

This painting by Alex Janvier is called 'Friday Night'. It is done in the style of acrylic on canvas. The colors and lines are very flowing and curvy, and the picture is very abstract. It is different than most First Nations paintings because there is no images of animals, symbols or humans - but there is a floral design that he incorporates into it. This is a very nice painting.


 * I think this painting is amazing, I really like the flowers and the blossoms. I especially like the colors and how they all flow nicely together. :)

This painting is by Alex Janvier. The painting is called Rainbow on the ground. He used the colors of the rainbow in a way that you wouldn't expect lots of people to realize. Woah! It looks like Alex Janvier painted on a tree trunk very unique!

It's called "Nota Bene." This picture looks like it has white petals and looks realy pretty. I really love this picture.



I think that this is a very different photo. the colors look really good together and the way that he made these colors it looks like some are popping out from the page.
