"Accent", Monumental Charcoal on Canvas Painting by Jessica Scott Felder

About the Item

11 foot by 9 foot frame stretched charcoal on canvas painting by Jessica Scott-Felder titled "Accent" 2009. Jessica utilizes drawings and installations with antique objects to transform spaces into psychological realms that are suggestive of maternal figures and ancestral and social narratives. Initially, the chairs represented matriarchal presence and have currently expanded to ancestry. Jessica’s work addresses issues in identity, heritage, culture, and society’s rapidly disintegrating connection to the past. Jessica's grandmother's living room has been a focal point of her work. She is visually exploring the suggestive qualities of furniture placement. Many of the images were derived from “Last Year at Marienbad,” a French New Wave film written by Alain Rob Grillet. Grillet’s writings are rife with visual descriptions; much of them were dedicated to describing the placement of objects and how those placements are suggestive of relationships between people. Provenance: Acquired from Le Meridien Hotel, Cambridge, MA. Jessica Scott-Felder holds an M.F.A. Drawing, Painting, & Printmaking, Georgia State University and a B. A. Studio Art, Spelman College, Atlanta and is currently Drawing and Senior Portfolio instructor at Spelman College.
