Jessica Douglas - Cells

Northart is excited to host a solo exhibition of prominent New Zealand based artist Jessica Douglas.

Jessica Douglas is an abstract artist who creates artwork in a wide range of mediums, including paint, metal, and plastic. Her work employs the language of geometric abstraction to emphasise visual ambiguity, incompatibility, and connection. Her artistic practice utilses bright and bold colours in combination with these geometric forms to create an allusive and illusionary surface.

This exhibition will feature work from two distinct bodies of creation and will employ a multi-media approach.
In the artist words, “my practice has developed from an interest in exploring the duality of binary relationships such as inside and outside, and from my use of the circle as a metaphor to reference the transference, seepage and flow between bounded entities.”

The exhibition will open with an event on Sunday 2nd of May from 4 to 6 pm, and then run daily at Northart until 26th of May. Public programming for this exhibition will include a ‘Conversation with the Artists’ on Saturday the 9th of May at 1pm and an artists workshop on the 22nd of May. In this artist-led workshop participants will be able to make their own 'Lumen Print', photographic images made by the sun. More specific details will be announced on Northart’s website and social media.
