Janice Kovar 
 

Welcome

2024/2025

My contemporary abstract paintings delve into the intricate relationships between colour, form, and texture, inspired by the ever-changing rhythms of nature. Through a process of layering and building up richly textured surfaces, I create complex geometric forms that evoke the organic patterns and shapes found in the natural world.

 

Each piece is a meditation on the interplay between structure and spontaneity as I seek to capture the beauty of the world around us.

New Collection for 2025 coming soon!

Janice Kovar is a contemporary artist known for her thought-provoking abstract paintings that explore the intersection of nature and urbanity.  Holding an Honours Art  and Art History Degree from McMaster University, and a Bachelor of Education Degree from Queen's University,  Janice has established a strong foundation in artistic expression  and technique. 

​

With a prolific exhibition history, Janice has showcased her work in numerous groups and solo shows across Canada, including the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, Design T.O, Earl's Court Gallery, and the Carnegie Gallery, of which she is an artist member.   Her paintings are unique in their blend of colour, texture, and composition which invites 

viewers to contemplate the intricate relations between the natural and built environments.  Through her art, she continues to investigate the tension and harmonies  between order and chaos, structure and spontaneity, and the urban and rural landscapes that shape our lives.

Welcome to my website and to my new series of works for 2024/25 that explore themes of urban and rural spaces through the use of abstraction.

 

My paintings are textural, layered, and evocative of surfaces that you would find in nature. Through the use of fragmentation, distortion and unique mark making, I create paintings and sculptural assemblages that speak to the notion of the passage of time, renewal, and connection to our environment.
