Huge contemporary impressionistic diptych in moody blues with vivid color
About the Item
'The Edge of a Fairytale' by British artist Jessica Zoob is a spectacular diptych with each canvas measuring W270cm x H95cm. Each canvas is available as a separate purchase of £24,000. As a complete work, it has enormous power and presence, yet is best described as healing, tranquil and meditative - words often used around the artist's work. Even when there are storms in evidence, metaphors for the turbulence of life, there is optimism too – light on the edge of a cloud or a shaft of sunshine breaking through the darkness. Subliminally, the artist's works are all about moving to a state of lightness or place of hope.
Zoob is fascinated by texture, distressed surfaces and graffiti on walls – the history these reveal. In her own work, she first she builds up layers and layers of oils which are then partly obliterated by continuous rubbing back, scraping or cutting into the surface. This ‘architectural’ process treads a fine line between her being in full control of the materials and allowing the unexpected to happen. The yang side to her more usually yin approach is when she uses pure pigments of colour to produce canvases bursting with excitement and energy.
She trained at Central School of Art and Nottingham University, during which time she travelled extensively, spending time on research in China and exploring other parts of Indonesia. For seven years, she worked as a theatre designer at countless venues including the Bristol Old Vic, the Royal National Theatre and Greenwich Theatre. Since 2000, she has worked exclusively as a British contemporary artist, now dividing her time between rural Sussex and her second home in Hong Kong.
Jessica Zoob exhibits regularly in Sussex and London, and her work is in private collections worldwide. Site-specific commissions include works for the entrances of The Lancasters at Hyde Park, a palace in Dubai and Richard Rogers’ NEO Bankside development. She has also been given solo shows in London, Cape Town and Hong Kong - and has also exhibited at Art Basel (Asia).
Helen Chislett Gallery represents artists, sculptors and makers across all disciplines.
