Jolanta Johnsson
Checkered Blanket

1993

About the Item

Jolanta Johnsson, experienced Polish artist, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, PhD of fine arts, university teacher. She currently lives in Sweden. This is how she writes about the drawing: When it comes to purchasing a blanket, many of us are drawn to the timeless appeal of a plaid pattern, which is often present in abstract art. Have you ever wondered why this particular design is so popular? I must admit, I don't have the answer. However, picture this: two individuals lying on a checkered blanket, surrounded by the intricate abstract geometry of this pattern. The result is a captivating image of two people intertwined within a space filled with vibrant square points. It almost seems as though the issues between them encircle and demand an explanation. Moreover, the man and woman are reclining in an unconventional manner, hindering their ability to comprehend or articulate their thoughts. Yet, this illustration does not depict an inescapable predicament. Rather, they find solace on the blanket, preparing to shift their positions, face each other, and exchange warm smiles. Let us not shy away from taking a moment to lie down on a blanket covered with abstract art pattern, just like them. In such a serene moment, we can contemplate what we wish to convey to our loved ones when we gaze into their eyes.

    Jolanta Johnsson, experienced Polish artist, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, PhD of fine arts, university teacher. She currently lives in Sweden. This is how she writes about the drawing: In my intimate drawings, I capture what is closest to me – the private moments that I would hardly want to reveal. And yet, I choose to share them with my audience. The motif of the odalisque, a reclining woman, has long been a popular subject in art. Throughout history, numerous artists have embraced this theme, and some of their paintings depicting reclining women have become iconic, shaping the course of art in their respective eras. Art historians have extensively written about the influence of these works. Notably, the odalisques created by the French painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, such as his renowned piece “La Grande Odalisque...
