Lockdown Series - 2 Painting

www.jenmotymart.com Strong and stunning colours that vibrate with energy are the trademark qualities of Jennifer's art. Always fascinated by colour – from an early age in her native Australia to her current life based in Europe, it plays a daily role in Jennifer's perception of the world. High-quality acrylics with deep pigmentation, fluorescent paints, ink marks and gold leaf are often used. The best compliment that Jennifer receives on a frequent basis is that her paintings make people feel happy. Primarily self-taught, with inspiration and guidance from fellow-artists along her path, she is inspired by post-Impressionists and Abstract Expressionistism. Travelling always provides new inspiration and a favourite current destination is Croatia, birthplace of her mother, with its stunning play of light and rawness. Hot summers, turquoise sea, ancient olive trees and the lively Mediterranean spirit provide an injection of vitality. Jennifer prefers to paint multiple canvases at one time – adding layers as the pace increases. She works on the floor or on large tables which allow her to move around, using her body and hands with sweeping movements creating energetic, pulsating canvases.
