| 关于此艺术家 |
My art is a duality of magical realism and lyrical abstract. I switch between both genres in order to enrich my creativity. Prehispanic art forms and colors inspire my work. If I had not lived in Mexico for so many years, I know my art would never have developed the way it did. Mexican Architect and visual artist Francisco Marmata wrote in 1998 of my abstract: "Jody Harrington's work is an art of abstraction, of a restricted palette and ample space. Her art establishes a strict relation between plane and form through linear balance and color zones, creating a poetic space within virtual time. There are references in her oil paintings and pastel drawings to the precepts of Kandinsky in the configuration of space with the elements of point and line on the plane. The dynamics of her work rotate around fixed axes, reminding us of Calder's mobiles transposed on canvas or paper." |

| 教育程度与个人自传 |
| I studied visual arts for 2 years at Hood College in Maryland. Then went to Mexico City to study at the University of Mexico in 1976. I remained in Mexico until 2002. I continued to study art in several talleres in Coyoacan. Architect and visual artist Francisco Marmata(1947-2001) was crucial in his critique and support of my abstract, as well as Mexican artist, Jose Luis Cuevas. |
