Shamanic Painting 06 Painting

“Shamanic Painting 06” borrows the intricate line work and color scheme of illustration. Perhaps the most subdued work in the collection, it would feel at home in virtually any room that calls for a lively modern accent. About the Collection: “Shamanic Paintings 1-9” are the original set of paintings by Jillian Mamey Critelli that define her personal style of acrylic collage. Each work is hypnotic, meditative, and vivid. The combination of layered materials and color is designed to speak to each collector on a deep personal level. True to their name, “Shamanic Paintings 1-9” were inspired by a spiritual quest. A chance encounter with a woman named “Anne” gave Jill the opportunity to read her “Akashic Records” (in occult circles, the fabled “Book of Life” that gives readers insight into their ultimate purpose), and was told that her next artistic practice would involve large scale acrylic pieces. Divinely focused, Jillian found herself engaged in a flurry of activity that produced these nine 36in x 36in works within a period of two months. Often exhibited together as an enormous 108in x 108in panel grid, this is an opportunity to own a piece of that exclusive collection. Jillian’s time-consuming process involves liquefying acrylic paint, molding and drying it as 3-dimensional pieces, and reconstructing hundreds of those pieces onto a canvas that is painted to reflect a specific emotion or mood. Think Jackson Pollock meets Rothko, or Pollock meets Nickelodeon, as the pieces have the playful splatter effect of ‘90s youth culture.
