Jami Taback is an artist
who is interested in the human figure and it‘s relationship to abstract
backgrounds. After several years of working in a purely abstract
manner, Ms. Taback has recently started to incorporate the human form in
her work - this new work will be the primary focus of this exhibition. |

In Ms. Taback’s print work, she uses more than one process which allows a powerful veiling effect to occur. The first print is created on BFK Rives, 140 lb print making paper soaked in water for 3-4 hours. The second print, an overlay to the first is on Thai Unryu, a dampened, fine Asian fibered paper. Ms. Taback conveys a sense of peacefulness and deception in these works, in the hopes that the viewer will experience deep contemplation. |

| Studies in pencil, ink and pastel
on tinted drawing paper accompany the prints and paintings. They are small
and intimate enabling the artist to draw the spectator into the private world
of the woman in the picture. |

She usually confines
her art making to a series or a contained body of work, enabling her to
explore different aspects and possibilities of shapes and colors, gradually
changing the composition again and again, remaining true to her subject. |

Ms. Taback’s recent work reflects an interest in Islamic and Persian textiles and patterns, Chinese Scholar’s Rocks, Global Women’s Issues and Outsider Art - among others. She is also influenced by extensive travels throughout the world - specifically to view other cultures and do research for her art. Melissa Wolf, the Director of the Women's Studio Center |
