Jennifer Hornyak
Flowers with Violets and Little Squares - orange, blue, green still life oil

2011

About the Item

Vibrant orange, purple, and green hues typical of this master of still life abstraction. Mostly known for her fondness for the abstracted still life, Jennifer Hornyak draws inspiration from what surrounds her. Hornyak’s paintings reveal sophisticated colour mixing and generous textures, and are both intimate and universal. Hornyak titles this work Fleurs avec Violets et Petits Carreaux, which translates in English to Flowers with Violets and Little Squares. Inspired by German Expressionism and the French Fauvist masters such as Matisse, Jennifer Hornyak is known for her still life and figurative paintings rendered in vivid colours with rich textured surfaces – surfaces that are created over time through many glazed layers. Hornyak was born in England where she studied at the Grimsby School of Art. In 1961, she moved to Montreal where she studied at McGill University, the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal and the Centre Saidye Bronfman. Hornyak has exhibited throughout North America and Europe including the Paris World Exhibition in 1987 where her work was shown alongside that of Modigliani, Picasso and van Dongen. Hornyak’s work is represented in many private and corporate collections including Bombardier Transport, Burroughs Welcome, McCarthy Tétrault, Power Corporation and Hyatt Regency Hotel.

  • Zen Garden - bright, floral, impasto, abstract expressionist, acrylic on canvas
    By Adam Cohen
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    A floral motif in shades of pink, blue, green and lemon is used in an all over pattern by artist Adam Cohen in this delightfully bright painting. Cohen intersects the language of Abstract Expressionism with narrative to re-invent the experience of action painting in a contemporary context. The artist is known for his applications of thick impasto, applied in layers that he cuts through and moves while the pigments are wet.  Cohen studied at Philadelphia’s Tyler School of Art and lived and painted in Rome for a year. He was one of the first artists to use Photoshop, which helped launch his career as an illustrator. After many successful years as an illustrator he returned to his first love...
