Zoob's Wonderful World of Art
04 December 2019
Having discovered artist Jessica Zoob, 4Walls was blown away by her passion for finding beauty in all things nature. This passion is portrayed effortlessly within her modern-day impressionist fine art prints and original paintings - and we were keen to find out her story.
Jessica Zoob is a British contemporary artist whose work is exhibited regularly in and around London, as well as featuring in private collections worldwide.
Working from studios in the country town of Lewes, East Sussex as well as in Hong Kong, Zoob’s work reflects the charm of her surroundings. She speaks fondly of the way in which the Sussex landscape, sea and sky inspires her work, and this is depicted clearly through the variety of sunset hues, marine blues and sandy tones featured throughout her pieces.
Zoob stresses the importance of taking time to stop and soak up the beauty of our everyday lives, stating: “I feel we are living in a terrifying, throw away world and one in which art plays a vital role to remind us to stop, breathe and appreciate what it is that makes us human”.
From her new studio in Hong Kong, she is constantly finding brand new inspiration, stating that Asia has been an endless stream of stimulation for her work. One of her passions and aims within her work is to capture the essence of her travels and experiences. She has found this liberating during her time in Asia, as it has certainly been a huge contrast to the “chalky, misty tones of Sussex”!
Using mainly oil paints allows her to play with textures, layers, history and ambiguity in her work, with some layers becoming lost and glimmering through only in the final piece, adding to the intrinsic beauty of her work. Zoob states that each painting is a time-consuming process and so encapsulates the series of emotions and memories involved.
One of her recent collections, showcased at her London Summer Art exhibition, incorporated singular and group paintings: ‘Dreams Do Come True’. All of which featured a soft pastel theme with vibrant splashes of fluorescence. 4walls is a big fan!
