Jane Dell combines imagery and inventive abstracted forms in her free-flowing, colorful surreal landscapes and figurative collage paintings. Organic shapes blend and contrast with geometric or imagined worlds using hard edge techniques with gestural brushwork bordering, at times, on conceptual themes. She makes sense of chaos and order in nature and her life. She's interested in the intersection of the two; the ever-shifting boundaries. She finds beauty in unexpected places.

"Dell isn't without undercurrents of angst and ennui. The acrylic collage on canvas "Trouble in Paradise" has a lone figure amid beautiful flora and fauna and a fish eye next to a window. The surroundings are opulent, seductive and vacant. Its reserved demeanor more than merely suggest things aren't quite right, but it doesn't yell, or throw a tantrum. Dell's compositions, made with acrylic and collage on canvas, or watercolor, ink, photography, collage on Mylar, are aqua environments with starfish spinning, urchins scuttling, frogs grinning and plants swaying. On the surface, they're placid pictures of a harmonious world submerged in water. Beneath, they're anything but comforting. Dell's images have a detectable tension subtly suggested through palette and composition. Through various critters, keenly mixed and matched, interacting in their watery world, a tranquil existence seems to be on the edge much like the quiet before the storm. This is where Parsons and Dell connect and make an engaging exhibit." - Tim Kane, Albany Times 2014 Jane Dell was born in Brooklyn, NY, studied fine art at the High School of Music and Art, received her BFA from Pratt Institute, and the School of Visual Arts and Parsons School of Design. Dell's current work has been in numerous group and solo exhibitions in the tri-state area and is focused on painting, collage and mixed media. She finds inspiration for her work from the everyday responses to our environment, creating unfamiliar worlds from the familiar using acrylic, oil and watercolor ink with collaged photo imagery. Some of Dell's recent paintings were featured in the December 4th 2020 Architectural Digest. Jane’s art has been featured in Inside Jersey Magazine, January 2013, "Top Ten New Jersey Artists", Sarah Fensom, and many TV shows and movies through the Art For Film Agency.
