UNTITLED RED JM-82 (2022) Malerei von Joanna Morani

Joanna Morani, an artist inspired by Wabi-Sabi, the Japanese aesthetic philosophy that not only accepts imperfection but celebrates it and reveres natural authenticity. Her artworks are made entirely of organic materials, pure natural pigments, wood, glue and water, transformed into art through an intense physical process in which chance and experiment ultimately play an important role.

The artist surrenders completely to the creative process, without expectation, in the sense of giving up control and practicing anticipation, will allow a complete lack of intention and uncontrolled happening, with more emphasis on the actual physical process of creation, rather than on precision to achieve planned results.

The monochromatic relief paintings ultimately also arise due to the artist's fascination with untouched nature and the natural process of creation. Emerging from a more or less uncontrolled process, Joanna Morani's paintings ultimately embody randomness that has taken shape, non-control, all in all ultimately also due to the passage of time.
In this way, perfectly imperfect works of art are created, which are ultimately left to their own devices with complete trust, paintings that emerge and change themselves more or less by chance, the artist only assisted the work at the beginning as a "midwife", so to speak, and then the painting left to himself.

The artist abandons herself completely to the creative process, an almost meditative activity, without expectations, expectations and control are ultimately given up in order to practice intuitive anticipation.

From a conglomeration of pure pigments, wood and glue, through water, air and the passage of time, then after weeks, rough, jagged, cracked, relief surfaces appear, revealing the artworks of Joanna Morani a quality which are reminiscent of topographic relief maps and aerial photographs of primeval, archaic, untouched nature. Each work of art is unique, represents its own character, lives through light and shadow, and allows its viewers to ponder and marvel again and again.
