IT WAS A VERY SIMPLE WORLD
The Space: An Art Gallery, Vancouver, 2018

"It Was a Very Simple World is drawn from Ernest Hemingway’s, “The Garden of Eden”. In a literary style, simple, descriptive and direct, Hemingway writes of a place where happiness is found in the simple pleasures of the couple’s companionship — from the way they take their coffee, or have their eggs for breakfast or the gratification that comes from catching a fish. Before the conflict, outside of worry, Jantzi’s paintings capture moments of simple elation.
Through bold colour shifts and crisp, clean compositions, Jantzi conveys moments of romance, portraits of pop, and playful renditions of the classic vase. Integrating the viewer into the canvas as a lady who sunbathes herself, staring at the sun over the sea, through pink shades with a cocktail in hand. Through a flow of moments in paradise, Sean Jantzi’s pop abstractions form valuable reflections of the simple things in life."
