Jeanette Pasin-Sloan
Revere ware Still Life

1988

About the Item

Jeanette Pasin-Sloan (b.1946). Still Life with Revere ware, 1988. Mixed media on paper. 13 1/8 x 13 3/4 inches (image) ; 18 x 20 inches (sheet); 22 x 23.5 inches framed. Signed and dated lower margin. Excellent condition with no damage or conservation. Biography: Noted realist painter Jeanette Pasin Sloan brings hyper-realistic domestic still life painting to the thin edge of abstraction with her canny depictions of reflection and distortion. Reminiscent of the complex patterning of Op art, her images of highly polished household items surrounded by and reflecting the geometric patterns of decorator fabrics take on a distinctly modernist appearance in design and composition. Sloan's rendering of the distorted reflections of pattern and light on the curving surfaces of silver or tin cups, bowls, candlesticks and ordinary cookware creates some of the most interesting and beautiful realist painting imaginable. Pasin-Sloan has sometimes referred to her subject matter as "heroic materialism." Her paintings treat everyday material objects heroically while presenting them in ways that comprise a new take on what is real. "In the beginning," she says, "the distortions were unconscious. They've become much more conscious now. But I've always thought that my best work was right on the edge of disorder. I think it's as much about disorder as it is about harmony and balance." With reflective imagery, Pasin Sloan creates a metaphor for how we are reflected in the things of our lives. In her case, as a largely self-taught painter who began as a young mother by painting the objects that surrounded her, the still lifes were in some sense self-portraiture. She nonetheless resists the type of social or religious symbolism that characterized the still life genre at its beginnings, and in particular she avoids the sentimentality of fruit and flowers. "I never turned to nature," she says, because it "didn't have the formal qualities that interested me." Regarding her fascination with reflective surfaces, she explains, "It created a whole new dimension of abstraction, of things going on within the object. Eventually, I came to think of my paintings as being about what goes on within the outline." Pasin Sloan works in oil on canvas, gouache and watercolor, and prints. Her distinctive artwork is in major collections including the Albright-Knox, Art Institute of Chicago, Cleveland Museum of Art, Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Metropolitan Museum, National Gallery of Art, Milwaukee Art Museum, Nelson-Atkins, and the art museums of Yale and Harvard, as well as many others. She has had solo exhibitions in numerous leading galleries around the nation, and she is the subject of many books and articles. Born in 1946 in Chicago and raised there - but also with long stays in Italy where her parents purchased a home - Sloan holds a BFA from Marymount College in New York and an MFA from the University of Chicago. She lives in New Mexico.
