Jeannie Maddox
From the flat, white surface of Jeannie Maddox's canvas, a swimmer's head erupts, breaking past two-dimensional bounds into three dimensionality. With eyes closed, face sheathed in water, the paintings seem more real than the object from which they spring. When Jeannie Maddox finishes the painting, the waters of the pool and the abstracted shapes of the body beneath it are just striking in their clarity.
Known for her photo-realism, especially her Swimmer Series, Jeannie's work has spanned twenty-five years with remarkable success. Her larger-than-life paintings have been acquired by collectors throughout the United States as well as from Japan, Italy, Holland, Venezuela and Switzerland.
Her originals are in such demand that she rarely has more than one or two large oils available at any time. Since 1990, Jeannie has been working on smaller acrylic paintings in addition to her time-consuming large Swimmer Series oil paintings. Today, instead of completing only four or five large oils per year, she now finishes two large oils and about ten smaller paintings. She has found this very satisfying. Those who have admired her work over the years have enjoyed this because now more collectors can enjoy owning her originals.
Robert Paul Galleries is proud to be the only authorized gallery to represent the works of Jeannie Maddox in the United States.
