Copy of Jacklyn Foster Solo Exhibition
In Jacklyn’s practice as a full-time working artist for the last three years in Regional Victoria she has developed a recognisable style of still life painting, as she depicts aspects of everyday life; from glasses of wine, vases of flowers, familiar foods and everything in between.
She carefully navigates the balance between abstraction and representational elements, she chooses to base her works on recognisable objects, but her bold colour palettes and joyful compositions are an embodiment of the emotions and memories we collectively hold with the objects rather than just the object themselves.
Jacklyn has made her creative practice an integral, fundamental part of her daily routine. Working with acrylic paint and oil pastels as a reflective practice, providing a source of constant inspiration as well as drawing inspiration from her current surroundings, and what is happening both within and around her.
She is a firm believer in doing more of what makes you feel good, listening to your gut, and following your intuition in life and art. Whatever your inner voice is saying to follow that, to chase that dream, to go after what you really want, like REALLY want. That is the basis of her art, and what draws you into her pieces.
Jacklyn Foster’s Solo Exhibition is on display from Thursday the 14th of March until Monday the 8th of April at The Old Auction House – 52-56 Mollison Street Kyneton.
