Jo Fleming Contemporary Art presents ‘Big Color’, an exhibition celebrating the bold and expressive power of abstraction through the work of two distinct artists, Barbara Januszkiewicz and John Grunwell.

Januszkiewicz’s luminous compositions recall the stained canvases of Morris Louis and Helen Frankenthaler, yet her approach is uniquely fluid, balancing elegance with motion. Her color fields merge with gestural abstract forms, creating a sense of harmony and spontaneity.

In contrast, Grunwell’s work embraces structure and intensity, utilizing hard-edge geometries, converging lines, and pulsating hues to explore the cosmic forces that shape our existence.

Together, their works engage in vibrant dialogue, showcasing the infinite possibilities of color in contemporary abstraction.
