Barbara Januszkiewicz: The Power of Big Color

 Exhibition: "Big Color" at Jo Fleming Contemporary Art

📅 Artist Reception: Saturday, March 8, 5-7 PM (Artist Talk at 6 PM)
📍 Jo Fleming Contemporary Art, 68 Maryland Ave, Annapolis, MD

A Celebration of Color and Movement

Barbara Januszkiewicz is no stranger to the transformative power of color. As a contemporary artist deeply influenced by the Washington Color School, her work expands the conversation of color abstraction, layering rich, translucent hues to create movement, depth, and emotion on canvas.

Her latest exhibition, "Big Color," opening at Jo Fleming Contemporary Art, is a bold statement in large-scale abstraction. Through fluid, luminous compositions, Barbara merges color fields with gestural forms, creating an immersive experience that invites viewers to feel color in a way that goes beyond traditional painting.

Color as a Language

Barbara’s technique involves staining unprimed canvas, allowing color to soak deep into the fibers, much like watercolor on paper—creating a luminous, almost ethereal effect. Her paintings breathe and flow, echoing the rhythms of nature, music, and emotion.

Her work has been featured in museums, embassies, and private collections, and this new body of work continues her lifelong dialogue with color, light, and form.

Why You Should See "Big Color"

For collectors, art lovers, and those who simply appreciate the emotional impact of color, this is an exhibition not to be missed. The artist reception on March 8 will provide a unique opportunity to hear Barbara speak about her work, her influences, and how she continues to push the boundaries of abstraction.
