About Jessica Hess:
Oakland, CA-based artist Jessica Hess is a hyperreal landscape painter.
A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Jessica Hess enjoys documenting the street art scene by painting hyperreal graffiti-laden landscapes. Hess’s paintings pay homage to the growing street art movement while also preserving these otherwise fleeting works.
Utilizing classical painting techniques, Jessica Hess interrupts her landscapes with digital aesthetics. The alternative reality created in the works examines censorship, free speech, and the pervasiveness of technology in everyday life. The tightly rendered paintings offer a hyperbolic and perfected version of the scene that extends beyond its reality - flora springs from barren land, idyllic clouds sway across blue skies, the environment takes on a deeper saturation, and pixels sometimes obscure the depicted graffiti.
