| - Jylian Gustlin is a San Francisco Bay Area painter in a contemporary redefinition of the 1960s—70s San Francisco Bay Area Figurative artists, their styles and techniques. Although using traditional painterly techniques, her vibrant paintings explore the impact of new technologies on perception. Inspired by a lifelong love of the San Francisco Bay Area Figurative artists, mathematical theories such as the Fibonacci sequence, the resonant tones of Latin phrases, African masks, and antique Roman vessels, Jylian's Gustlin's work is a modern hybrid between the past and the present. The noted activist, singer and friend of Gustlin, Joan Baez wrote, “I am fortunate enough to have Jylian as a friend. I know her as exuberant, open, fun, funny, teasing, stubborn to the point of bullheadedness, and as a splendidly free spirit. She has psychic tendencies, drives like a maniac, and runs in the hills for hours on end, fair weather and foul. It is that same energy which directs her hands and body to paint. My guess is the actual painting is executed in the same trance she experiences as a runner. The results are expansive, like the hills, with the colors instinctively finding their place in the grand picture. She creates what I believe is “fine art.” She has been present to help me, a beginner, find ways to hurdle over stuck points, and struggle with her suggestion to “make as many mistakes as you can.”If that is the same as “take as many risks as you can,” it blends like a perfect palette with the rest of her life style, and the viewer is the beneficiary of the whole package.” (en)
