Stroll II - Large, green, blue, red, man and woman, figurative, oil

2014

About the Item

A hunched person in a coat and hat, depicted in painterly passages of moss green, grey, and black walks past a tall figure in red, red flowers and an exciting bicycle in this oil painting on canvas. The picture plane of the layered, almost square composition tilts and flattens slightly enhancing the overall abstract direction of the cityscape. The artist titled the work Promenade, translated to Stroll in English. Hornyak's paintings are inspired by modern French Fauvist masters such as Henri Matisse and Andre Derain. Dubbed "fauve" or wild beast by the media, these early 20th century painters were known for their vivid even potent colors and energetic brushwork. Jennifer Hornyak was born in England where she studied at the Grimsby School of Art before coming to Canada in 1961. In Canada, she continued her studies at McGill University, the Musee des beaux-arts de Montreal and the Centre Saidye Bronfman. Hornyak was invited to participate in the World Exhibition in Paris in 1987 along with Modigliani, Picasso and van Dongen. Her work has been exhibited throughout Europe and North America. Her portrait paintings were recently featured in a public exhibition in Montreal at the McClure Gallery for the Visual Arts. Hornyak's work is represented in many private and corporate collections. "We cannot reproduce nature, nor should we want to. All we can do is see and feel, and aim to transcend ourselves." Jennifer Hornyak
