Janine Saul
Screen Printing textile Artist
London, 1997
BiogrAPHY
Janine Saul (b. 1997, London) is a conceptual textile artist. Janine's intrigue in the art of screen-printing stemmed from an interest in the possibilities of creating dimension and texture on fabric surfaces. By challenging the traditionally linear formula of the screen-printing process through manipulating screens, creating resists, and developing dye formulas, Janine has cultivated an experimental practice that implements her discoveries to create form-focused, layered outcomes rooted in depth and emotion.
While playing with textural quality by pushing the boundaries of print, Janine's work is heavily informed by her lifestyle as a world traveller, gathering inspiration and teachings from around the world to create intricate pieces that aim to understand the many layers and constructions of the human experience, using colour and dimension to embody a space, time, moment and feeling. Describing her approach to creation as a desire to 'bring the invisible to the visible', Janine's work aims to reveal what happens in the spaces beyond the perceived eye. Through spatial installations, Janine employs movement to expose, conceal and reveal spaces to ourselves.
Through her travels, Janine has positioned her work in diverse locations from the remote jungle of Mexico to conventional gallery spaces and has exhibited globally across London, New York, Mexico, Peru, France, Italy, and Greece.
