Exhibition Dates: September 24th - October 6th
A gentle moodiness characterises Jessica’s paintings which are typically inspired by the French and Australian countryside and simple domestic vignettes. Knowing when to stop painting usually comes intuitively; she would rather say less than too much in a piece, prioritising atmosphere over specific detail. Her work has been described as serene, evocative and nostalgic; indeed, her paintings are an extension of a certain feeling when holding a paintbrush as years of observation of beautiful things and places rise from the subconscious. This exhibition titled Cuisine et campagne (“Kitchen and Countryside”) is centred around the joys of life at home and the beauty of open terrain, tied together by a cohesive palette of muted pastels and earthy tones. Jessica takes pleasure in mixing colours instinctively, softly blending out edges and observing light and shadow, which results in a contemplative mood across this collection of still-life and landscape paintings.
