ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This process has led my mind towards an easier way of living. It has opened new doors leading to possibilities that are far grander than I could have imagined. It’s not fame or wealth, but a good life. A good life is lived fully. It moves with grace and forgiveness. Living a good life cradles you in your death bed with readiness, comfort, and no sense of regret. The shadow of your life will nudge the world towards a nicer and tidier place. People will still feel your love and you won’t fear being forgotten. A good life is not easy. It is reaching for the highest good, like a child wishing on a star. As an adult it is no longer a wish but an aspiration. It requires sacrifice that is done simply for the sake of goodness.

Jessica Matier attended Parsons School of Design. In 2016 she departed from watercolor and collage practices to pursue a mixed media approach to abstract painting. Her work was in group exhibitions in the New York City, New Jersey, Chicago, FSU Museum of the Arts, and The Other Art Fair, Brooklyn. In 2019 Rutgers University acquired the painting, Natural Things, on display at the Camden Center of the Arts. Matier was born in South Korea in 1985. When she was three months old, she was adopted and raised in New Jersey, where she currently resides. Statement I create internal landscapes to illustrate the flow of energy to dispense overlooked ideas that subconsciously dictate my present thoughts and actions. I intend to create opportunities for self-growth, and in effect, illustrate the collective progression of humankind. I add mythical and alchemical symbols to punctuate self autobiographical images to serve as references for the metastory based on the transcendence of everyday lives into ideal states of being. I utilize all water-based mediums at a vigorous pace to execute a painting without interruption from second thoughts and trivial tangents. The interactions between the mediums transmute themselves into an image appearing out of an unknown origin. I simultaneously amplify the materiality through pastel mark-making and brushstrokes of acrylic to differentiate between the abstract subjects within a piece. The variety of visual elements intend to invoke harmony, translating into a sense of inner peace.
