About The Artwork

Two Egyptians present offerings to one another. The double helix that emerges from the center represents the pineal gland. The butterflies mimic the masculine and feminine nature that lives within us, i.e., estrogen and testosterone. The triangulation of lines in the top left symbolizes how we can only perceive love in known times. The infinite qualities remain unknown. While the Earth is in full bloom during the summer, it provides a backdrop to the idea of summer love. The circle containing the overlapping faces is slightly off-balance, indicating that the woman requires more space than the man. Her side is full of flora, wild growth. The man is more orderly and crowded with artifice. He is the harvester of the woman's development and offers it back to her in producing the refined and processed objects from nature. Ra, the bird under the circle, symbolizes the setting sun... It represents the goddess of the west, signifying the mortality of the people in the picture.  The physical exchange of resources between the couple can only exist in linear time. This painting is about creating relationships of living things that can only naturally survive in warm weather. The timing has to be suitable for a relationship to work, like finding love. Summer to fall, Transference. Summer projects itself into the cool air through rapid growth, and the flora becomes the fullest expression of itself.

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.
