Jessica Thacker

ARTIST STATEMENT:

​

My name is Jess and I am an abstract artist, I work in various mediums but mainly acrylic. I use a lot of texture in my work and I focus on layers, flow, movement and energy. 

 

I paint to music using songs to inspire me to create each piece. I use that feeling and movement to create my personal interpretation of the song and put it on the canvas. I truly put my heart and soul into each piece, a piece of me. I dance and sing the whole time I am painting every stroke and adding detail.  I hope that when someone looks at my work they feel moved by some sort of energy. If you listen to the song that the painting is dedicated to you should be able feel the energy and vibes that comes from each instrument, each note the artist sings, the lyrics and their voice. It's moving and compelling and that's what I want to give people through my art.

 

If my style speaks to you, I’d love to work with you in the future. Please be in touch to find out more and to discuss how we can collaborate on whatever you have in mind.

 

Exhibition and Collectors history:

I have previously exhibited at Roy’s Art Fair in the Truman Brewery, Brick lane, London last October where I was very successful in selling my art and have since been commissioned for many pieces in respect of that.

This show was amazing, I received such amazing feed back and reviews.

I am currently the resident artist at this brand new art hotel in the centre of Brussels where I was lucky enough to be given my own floor of 44 Rooms and the lobby to fill.

This was an amazing exhibition where I was invited to exhibit with another female artist. The exhibition was a complete success and I loved all the amazing feedback from the viewers.
