Capturing the jewel-like tones of elaborately arranged still lifes in her compositions, as well as the fine subtleties of the human form, Monafo says of her work: “I’m most interested in the relationship of colors, the relationship of shapes, and the relationship of textures, and how they contribute to the order of the whole composition.” Whether smaller intimate examples or dramatic large-scale stunners, Janet Monafo’s pastels make a bold statement and bring a fresh burst of color and dynamism to Vose Contemporary Realism, which hosted solo exhibitions of her work in 2008 and 2018.
