Through a minimal, concept lead practice that combines traditional techniques with a wide variety of contemporary and historic materials and supports, including aluminium, wood, copper, silk, paper, latex, gesso, ceramics and ready-made objects, Bustin’s paintings are initiated following intense periods of research or collaboration. The work explores the metaphysical potential for painting to 'make visual' philosophical concepts found primarily in literature, as well as music, science, dance and theology. They are presented within the formal constraints of abstraction but subvert this tradition; while not representational in the traditional sense, each decision in making the work is conceptually justified in relation to a particular subject. While minimal in style the works are intensely personal in subject, flying in the face of the masculine dogma of modernist Minimalism. Jane Bustin studied at Portsmouth Polytechnic and lives and works in London.
Recent and upcoming projects include Mark Rothko Art Centre (Latvia), and a solo show at Copperfield, London. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Whitechapel Gallery (London), The British Library (London), Jane Lombard (New York), Fox Jensen (Sydney), and her work is included in the collections of Ferens Mjuseum & Gallery, Hull (UK), The Victoria and Albert Museum (London), the Goldman Sachs Collection, and the collection of Frederic de Goldschmidt.
