Jaclyn Conley
In terms of painting I'm always looking for something I don't recognize. In terms of the subject matter though I find that day-to-day the country bears little resemblance to the ideals that I associate with it. (...) And I resist a language of painting that would suggest a seamless picture. For me the material creates form but it also resists, pushes back. It becomes a place for us to enter into.
Jaclyn Conley is a Canadian born artist that creates colourful paintings based on photographs of public figures and events connecting beautifully with some of the key social and political concerns of our time.

For Conley, there is no single element greater than the composition itself. (..) Conley’s paintings have a point of entry for all, but to me she is the consummate painter’s painter.
