The viewer of Jeannette Debonne’s paintings is immediately struck by the richly textured fresco-like surface, and the mysterious calligraphic inscriptions that adorn that surface. This is a process that begins with a compound that is applied to the canvas, then deeply incised, and followed by the addition of color, and finally the dark charcoal and graphite characters. The entire method is intuitive and emotional, not conceptual. Debonne’s paintings are perhaps best related to Cy Twombly in the presence of the hard gestural marks and glyphs, to Helen Frankenthaler in the fluidity of the underpainting, and to Roberto Matta in the treatment of space and depth. There is a mystery that lies at the core of Jeannette Debonne’s paintings. We are presented with a text of ostensibly meaningful signs, not unlike being confronted with a wall painting from a prehistoric age. The compelling question is one of sense and intention. Relative to the execution of the artworks, in the Sartrean sense, their “existence precedes their essence.” There is never a plan enacted upon the canvas. Rather, it is attacked with wild gestures and explosively physical movements. Thus, the lexicon of seeming symbols grows as a result of the process. Although their meaning is neither foreseen nor discursive, they are far from vacuous. The artwork has now become a highly evocative object, ready for th eviewer to finish. There is much about Jeannette Debonne’s art that beckons the viewer. The texture is sensual and alluring. Reminiscent of old earthen walls,
there is an almost automatic, unthinking desire to reach out and run fingers over the deeply scored surface. The scars themselves compound
the mystery; color heightens the sense of the ephemeral and the mythic. Hue typically coalesces in one or two significant areas. Reds, blues,
and browns dominate, and range from a heavy concentration to a spreading mist. The effect is eerily atmospheric. In this fantastic space, some
of the objects are in immediate propinquity, others recede. There is a sense of suspended amorphous entities.
Debonne has also created a technique for ‘bracketing’ the composition. Once again, this innovation was born from sheer intuitive improvisation. It manifests in the form of a ‘window’ built into the image, a frame of straight lines and right angles that functions to focus the viewer’s eye, and to define a boundary within which the viewer may interact with the composition.

(continued from the previous page) Jeannette Debonne creates in utter sincerity, and with passion. Debonne's aim could be said to be twofold in nature. The first is something of a throwback, because it is simply to create artworks of beauty. In the post-modern world, a wedge has been driven between art and beauty, so that artists have become alienated and estranged from the aesthetic quest. Debonne has returned to an earlier notion, one in which art is necessarily a search for the beautiful. Secondly, she wishes to create artworks that are evocative. Her art is neither message-oriented nor didactic. There is no particular concept or notion that has to be grasped, nor is there a proper interpretation. The works are simply there to be experienced. Indeed, the viewer is a part sine qua non of the process, for the artwork is not completely meaningful until the viewer has experienced and reacted to it. And for their cathexis, for their contribution, they gain something. As the artist says, “The purpose of art is to indemnify the spirit of the viewer.” The viewer’s compensation is bestowed when they simply use the painting as a gateway to the mystery. Art is, at its base, expression. It is the expression of our deepest secrets and feelings. Thus, each artwork is autobiographical. But it can be more. If Montaigne was right, in that we carry within ourselves the condition of all mankind, then to imbue artworks with our most keenly felt emotions is to speak to them in the language that is most essentially human. This is what Jeannette Debonne does. She creates visual poetry that is born of her trials, her conflicts, and her triumphs. In this, she shows us something about ourselves. When asked about the advice she would give the viewer of her artworks, she replied simply, “Look, and feel.”
