Others On Her Art
" At a time when technique is shunned as anathema to creativity, it's a pleasure to find Mrs. Young concerned with the same challenges the Masters wrestled with; composition and undiscovered beauty..." Robert Venger for Valley News.
" If you have an office complex with huge bare walls you might want to consider some big juicy abstracts. But if you have a warm home with some intimate corners, you might consider the small landscapes and still lifes of Joan Young. They are lovely little smile inducers" Stewart Salsbury for the Beverly Hills Magazine.
“You may have to set aside your particular political leanings to fully enjoy Young’s technically accomplished, almost anachronistic celebrations of “dress gray” pageantry. I, for one, am drawn to the unusual subject matter and careful compositions of these paintings….” Previews Stephen Jenkins, Art Week, February 1998
“Young’s work is more pensive. Her oils are executed on rag paper, giving an interesting rough hewn texture to her paintings, despite her sure handed brush work”. Rachel Donahue, Art of the Matter, Santa Monica News 3.14 97 Vol.111# 12
“Talk about a change of pace. Two years ago, J.H.Y. made a strong impression with her series of paintings depicting cadet formations and graduation parades at West Point, striking not only for their technical assurance but also for the lack of irony with which the artist approached her unusual (in our ere) subject matter. Having apparently graduated from rendering the academy’s anachronistic pageantry, Young now turns to flowers…. Perhaps the very same blooms and buds that those West Point boys might well have gone on to trample underfoot in their war games. “In previous times our forefathers had daily access to flower gardens,” Young explains. “ In this electronic age we miss having the energy that comes from our earth. Paintings of flowers exude a sense of spirituality when redefined in our personal environment.” Growing just this side of Hallmark Card Gardens, Young’s flowers are buttery and fragrant, though I wouldn’t mind the occasional appearance of her earlier cadets, perhaps standing at attention and saluting a vase of lilacs and daisies. Stephen Jenkins, Artweek, Vol31 Issue2 Feb. 2000
The Artist On Her Work
My influences have almost always predated this century; from the Neolithic Caves of Lascaux through the Brooding Barbison painters to the colorful Impressionists. I love painting "spontaneous opulence" using thick buttery paint and a luscious full brush to remind us of more gentle times; a woman sewing, fresh flowers from the garden, children sailing, and formal family portraits are favorite subjects. My paintings are designed to complete the harmony and evoke tranquility in their hanging place rather then to control its environment.
