B. MCLANE
Atlanta, GA 30316
770-995-0088
BFA IN STUDIO ART, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
STUDIED WITH DEREK SOUTHALL, BRITAIN’S PAINTER LAUREATE
CALLING HER WORK "FUNCTIONAL ART", MS. MCLANE
SPECIALIZES IN 6 FT X 6 FT HAND-PAINTED UNSTRETCHED CANVAS. THESE
INDIVIDUAL PAINTINGS ARE THEN USED AS SHOWER CURTAINS, QUILTS,
AND WALL-HANGINGS. NEW TO HER LINE ARE THE MORE COMPLICATED SMALLER
STRETCHED PAINTINGS.
"AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, I HAVE GOTTEN SO GOOD WITH THE
MEDIUM, I CAN NOW DO MUCH MORE CONFINED AND TIGHTLY KNIT WORK."
IN HER OPINION, REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OF YOUR HOME, YOU LIVE
IN THREE ROOMS -- THE BEDROOM, KITCHEN AND BATH, "ISN’T
THAT WHERE YOUR ART SHOULD BE?"
HER WORK IS EASILY RECOGNIZABLE. STYLES RANGE FROM BIG BUSTED
BEACH BABIES TO DRAMATIC ABSTRACTS. I’M A GREAT COLORIST,
I ALWAYS FIND IT INTERESTING TO PUT UNUSUAL COLORS TOGETHER. THAT’S
WHAT KEEPS IT FUN FOR ME, BUT THESE ARE REALLY AN UNSTRETCHED
PAINTING SO I APPROACH IT JUST AS SERIOUSLY AS I DO A FINE CANVAS.
Working with Italian, Industrial Dye Is Tricky. Dyes Naturally
Spread When Applied. I Have Learned to Control Their Bleeding
with Brush Stroke Direction and Load Amount, Without Using Any
Wax or Resist. Dyes Make My Work Washable, Which Makes Them Functional.
Without this Medium My Work Would Be Entirely Different. I Know
of No One Else Who Works with a Medium this Complicated. I Constantly
Am Learning Something New from its Variables.
"I’VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD
WHY NORMAL, EVERYDAY ITEMS HAVE TO BE SO BORING AND MUNDANE. I
JUST BELIEVE THAT ALL ART DOESN’T HAVE TO BE DUSTED."
