WILDLOVE: the solo art exhibition for the new works of painter Jessica Libor. A collection of new paintings depicting the wildness and romance of nature present all around us, and within us.
Unexpected colors, oversized flowers, and magical, otherworldly landscapes are mixed with classically inspired figures feminine figures playing their part like an actress on set. This new body of work by Jessica Libor explores the ideas of the heroine as she chooses her destiny, shaping her life path as she makes new choices and creates her own story.
In the painting Wild Things, a young lady steps forward holding a parasol over her while engaging the fewer in a direct gaze. Is she the explorer in this world, or the queen of this strange domain? Beside her crouches a leopard-like domestic cat, which has symbolic roots in the ancient idea of the soul being externalized from the body in an animal form. The landscape is pastel and candy colored, like a fantastic vision from a dream. The color captures the sense of discovery in the uninitiated youth, when something new, exotic, exciting and unfamiliar is around every corner waiting to be discovered. It is also a metaphor for the heroine’s discovery of herself, and her burgeoning sense of autonomy.
Other concepts that relate to the work are the reflection of nature mirroring the feminine biology and spirit, the use of costuming and fashion to create identity, and animal symbology.
Mediums for this work include oil paintings, watercolors, and pastels accented with genuine gold leaf. Through new drawings and paintings of feminine protagonists populating fantasy landscapes, Jessica Libor creates a world of dazzling beauty that you are invited to step inside.
A graduate of Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the artist utilizes historical references from the Rococo and pre-Raphaelite aesthetics, as well as the seductive textures of gold and silver leaf woven throughout her paintings, to create a luxurious and verdant world you will want to step inside and never leave.
Registered attendees will receive a hand signed physical postcard of one of the show works, signed by the artist, mailed to their address after the show. Attendees will also be the first to see the new work and get a chance to collect it before the public. The work in WILDLOVE is a secret until the day of the exhibition!
A fancy event, pour yourself a glass of sparkling champagne and dash on some lipstick or your finest 3 piece suit to show off your Zoom art party chic! The artist will be answering questions live as well.
See you at WILDLOVE!
