I really like the way that BJ explores a variety of shapes and compositional styles while maintaining a coherent, consistent overall look and feel for her works. The artist’s paintings utilize a wide range of colour palettes and abstract compositions -- some works might feature hard geometric edges, while others focus on round, softened lines and colour planes -- yet are held together as a complete portfolio by the artist’s signature blending and lightly visible brush marks.
In some series, like Geometrics, BJ takes the same basic selection of shapes and marks and remixes them numerous times in numerous paintings. Looking through this gallery gives the viewer the unique opportunity to pick the abstract composition that best speaks to them and captures their attention.
