Jessica mainly does gestural, bravura oil paintings. She loves to express more than an external narrative and present internal, spiritual meaning in her work. Her paintings focuses on the real - a true experience, and is inspired by the still-life genre. Even Mr David McKee, an art critic in New York, described some of her work as “landscapes of consumerism”. Results of her new inventions on art gave her motivation to keep going to paint. So far, she gain awards in USA and Hong Kong.

Jewelry Garden I, 45" x 54", Oil on canvas, February 2010
Jewelry Garden II, 64" x 64", Oil on canvas, March 2010
These two paintings are Jessica's work that were done in 2010. They gave me a feeling that the masterpiece is in a living situation, so vivid, just like in front of a jewelry store, which the jewelry trading is operating, also the jewelery can show the feature of “landscapes of consumerism”.

Hello, I am Vivian. I am impressed by your blog because your blog unlike other blogs which have so much words. Indeed, your blog have only two pictures but they are very strong due to the color the artist uses. Those two paintings, I think, may not be so clear for people to see what it is. However, the color can easily make people who saw them feel happy. So am I. I can feel the strong sense of contrast due to the colorful paintings. Also, the atmosphere of them are so consistent that people watching them will easily feel the sense of living and vivid. Plus, I am so appreciate the abstract attitude of Jessica. That leaves me a space to have an extended thinking and imaging.

Jessica’s works are quite abstract and complicated to me. Different people have different perception :P I don’t really understand what her works mean in a rational aspect. But in emotional aspect, I feel really excited about it. It is because the color used is bright and they make up an amazing contrast. But all of them are nice to be matched up. It seems to me the colors are expressing something strongly, releasing artist’s emotion, ignoring the troubles in reality and just dance freely and crazily in own world.
回覆刪除This is a fresh image to me as most artworks I saw are fine and gentle. But Jessica’s artworks shows me abstract and emotional image, remain a space for viewers understand it in their own way.

Hello!
回覆刪除Your comment on Jessica's 'Jewelry Garden' is not quite the same with me. You can see the painting as a jewelry store while it is an exciting garden to me as she has used many sharp colours with a thick layer of oil. I guess, the impressionism on her oil paintings differs viewers’ understanding, which is very inspiring. I would want to touch the surface to feel the texture. I agree with Hiu-tung that the paintings are abstract, but still give me a strong impression and spaces for imagination.
I would like to know more about your thinking on her works. Keep going! Keep on thinking more about her works.
