| Garland, Jess II 48" x 36" oil on canvas painting. |
I am trying to complete this before my one-person show at YorkArts which opens on June 6 (D-Day).
The pieces in this show will cover a span of over twenty-five
years and encompass my major subject areas:
the figure, the studio-interior, chairs, and the still-life. Since my
sensibility is autobiographical, these pieces tend reflect my surroundings and
experiences. I usually work from direct observation, but I also use memories
and conversation as departure points for both paintings and drawings. I have noticed that, over time, this body
of work often references itself through specific aspects of subject, color,
composition, and even particularities such as patterns and brushwork. I like
duality in both form and content: ambiguity and clarity; color and
draftsmanship; manufactured and natural.
I am currently working on a
series of figure paintings and interiors.
