RP: @deneenlgarrett Posted @withregram@deneenlgarrett Wednesdays are dedicated to Black Women in Art. Meet “Detroit” Canadian painter and sculptor Artis Lane. I chose Artis next as I’ve recently acquired one of her paintings. As with many of her pieces, it’s a nude. After the acquisition, I realized I’d “attracted and manifested” it as I’m going through my “falling in love with myself and body” phase. Curious to know why nudes are a significant part of her work, I read “A Woman’s Journey: The Life and Work of Artis Lane” and learned Artis sees the woman’s body as a temple. This gave me a new perspective and appreciation for this blue chip painting. All my life I have worked on three levels of consciousness: Portraits, Social Injustice & Metaphysics In my work I strive to heal, uplift and inspire viewers and collectors to find perfection in their own being. Artis Lane The Early Years Artis Lane was born near an all Black village in North Buxton, Ontario, Canada. After three years of art college in Toronto, Canada, Artis Shreve Lane moved to Detroit to study at Cranbrooke Art Academy. While in the Motor City she painted and sculpted the portraits of many of the business and political leaders of the day; Governor George Romney, Ford family members and! Colemean Young, the Mayor of Detroit. The Social Injustice Artist “My Civil Rights images led me naturally to ideas about what and who we are outside of race. I went from there to the most important body of work, the metaphysical images of generic man and generic woman emerging out of the ignorance of material concepts and evolving into spiritual awareness.” Artis Lane 🖼️My art mission is to inspire 100 Black Art Collectors.🖼️ #BlackArtist #BlackWomen #WomensEmpowerment #BlackArtCollector Credit: artisane.com
