Early life and education

Janise Yntema was born in 1962 in New Jersey.[1] She attended St John the Divine Stoneyard Institute.[2] Yntema studied at the Art Students League of New York in 1979. From 1980 to 1984, she studied at Parsons School of Design, where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts.[3][2][4]

Career

Her paintings are created from numerous layers of translucent applications of pigmented wax that are fused together with a blowtorch to create a smooth and glossy skin-like surface.[3] Yntema has worked in marble dust, aluminum, iron powder, wood and wax. She said in 1996 that her body of work "makes reference towards figuration and landscape, but is abstracted and abbreviated to encompass the initial intensity of the physical gesture."[2]

In 1991, Yntema was asked to join A.I.R. Gallery.[5][6] That year she edited Portrait of a Mile Square City: Stories from Hoboken, written by David Plakke.[7] One of her works was shown in a 2003 edition of House & Garden.[8]

She is represented by A.I.R. Gallery in New York,[9] A & A Gallerie in Belgium[10] and Cadogan Contemporary in London.[11] Yntema lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.[10]
