Janus Ourma

About:

I completed my art education at the Community College of Philadelphia and The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. I have created graphic design, curated art exhibitions, and made art since 1969.

Artist Statement:

My art practice is primarily committed to drawing. It is focused on the uncertainty of visual perception, as well as responding to the contemporary issues of the climate crisis, American society and the Queer cultural community. 

Works Featured: These three drawings emerged from my daily art practice. The two black ink drawings are my responses to six headlines in each day’s news. They are part of an assemblage of 366 drawings, which are a portrait of America 2023-24.
