Jenny Morgan | on Tumblr (b.1982, USA)

Practice. Oil on canvas, 70x50 in (2011)
Spark. Oil on canvas, 40x30 in (2010)

The New York based artist Jenny Morgan creates large figurative oil paintings. She considers these works “psychological portraits”, conflating the physicality of paint and person, psychology and physiology. Morgan uses different techniques, like building up paint or, conversely, sanding it down, to express the inner feelings of the sitters. Her portraits and nudes, bigger than life size, combine photorealist elements with simple and flashy colors, making reference to other approaches such as pop art. (cf. Westword & Like the spice) You can visit her website or follow her Tumblr for more works.

"I want to lie down like a tired child and weep away this life and my diary shall receive me on its downy pillow. Most children do not know what they cry for; nor do I, altogether."

- Virginia Woolf, Diary Entry, 7 December 1925  (via righteouswaxchaperone)

‘Familial Transit’, Patrick Hukins  “My works are an intimate exploration of family, displaying its peculiarities, its moments of variance, unknowingness. The candid shots of the children capture moments of heightened thought, moments of change from childhood innocence into something more, something real, even spiritual. I’ve attempted to execute this through my impasto texture, applying impressionistic styles, a ll of which used to draw on the emotions and connections all audiences have in regards to their own family. While the style is traditionally European, traces of Australiana shine through this work. The depictions within these paintings engage a wider audience as Australiana is so often embedded in childhood memories. Viewers step back as they reminisce on their own childhood experience, connecting emotionally through my unique building of layers.  ”
