Jean Wells (artist)
Jean Wells is an American artist known for her large-scaled and life-sized mosaic sculptures featuring pop-inspired objects such as ice cream cones, hamburgers, hot dogs, and candy. Like artists Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons, Wells offers consumerist images without obvious critique, yet subtle indications are detected by some who see clues to ideological substance beneath her works.
In her early career, Wells worked in graphic design and advertising, but never stopped making art, mostly painting and sculpture. Today, her subjects blend postmodern pop culture iconography with autobiography. In recent years, she has shown at the San Diego Museum of Art, the La Jolla Athenaeum, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Juan Antonio Peréz Simón Collection in Mexico City, and many other notable institutions and galleries.
== Early life and education ==
Wells' parents were of Russian and Austrian/Polish extraction and members of a well known artistic family. Her uncle Rudolph F. Zallinger was a notable muralist and illustrator, having painted The Age of Reptiles in 1947 at Yale's Peabody Museum of Natural History. Wells' father Thomas Wells was a mosaicist noted for his creation in 1964 of a rendition of Theotokos and the Archangels in the apse of the St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church of Seattle. The entire church and mosaics complex were praised in ''Architecture/West'' for their wedding of modern architectural forms with traditional liturgical needs. The elder Wells' mosaics were among the first Byzantine-style mosaics on the West Coast of the United States. His daughter Jean, in her very early teens at the time, was his young assistant.
Jean Wells continued her arts education, receiving a B.A in Fine Arts from the University of Washington and studied further at the Burnley Art School, Seattle WA (now the Art Institute of Seattle). She also received home schooling in the arts from her family, including her uncle and father, as well as other family members who were working artists. Her grandfather was a mosaic artist and he taught Wells as well.
