“I first encountered Jessica’s work when I interviewed her for the Sunday Times ‘Style’ magazine. I was quite simply blown away by her ability to translate raw emotion and energy onto the canvas, creating whole domains of colour and texture that touch a nerve deep inside our own psyche. Because her work is not constrained by obvious figurative or landscape content, the eye is free to explore the layers within and discover its own worlds – no wonder then that she is the artist of choice for many leading, international interior designers, as her paintings sit as happily in very simple, contemporary interiors as in the lavish and the opulent.”
“Jessica Zoob creates abstract worlds in which the imagination can roam freely and pleasurably through deeply-layered, impressionistic landscapes. I find her work both emotive and engaging.”
Nicole Swengley, Journalist, the Financial Times How to Spend It.
GALLERIES
“NEO Bankside was privileged to host Jessica Zoob’s powerful and indulging “Passion” series in a dedicated exhibition over the summer of 2012. The exhibit showcased works brimming with depth and emotion, highlighting Jessica’s undoubted talent. ‘Passion’, a 6 panelled masterpiece of intensity, colour and mystery was the pinnacle of an extraordinary collection, intensified only by the iconic view across the Thames to St. Paul’s Cathedral. Jessica’s works are thought provoking and serene, powerful and rich. NEO Bankside was very honoured to have been able to showcase such a formidable talent.”
“Zoob’s use of line, texture and colour recall the work of Gerhard Richter’s abstract paintings and the poetic quality of Claude Monet’s later works. However, they are rich in imagination with an innate energy and beauty all of their own.”
“Jessica’s work is simply beautiful, I can’t help but smile when I see it.”
“These paintings are truly beautiful.”
INTERIOR DESIGNERS
“I was so fortunate to have met Jessica earlier this year and to see her paintings, which are stunningly beautiful and unique. A photograph cannot do justice to her paintings. Abstracted and atmospheric, the textures and vitality of her paintings need to be seen to be appreciated. I am looking forward to the New Year to receive Jessica’s painting I commissioned for a client. He too is very excited. We fear the painting may be completed before the house.”
“Jessica’s work is absolutely inspiring. Her pieces have a mystic quality that transports you to magical places. The movement and textures in her paintings are exciting, calming and intriguing – all at the same time. We have worked with Jessica on a number of commissions, and she’s surpassed our expectations every time.”
“I was searching for a special artwork to feature in the atrium of an important clients’ Mediterranean villa. I contacted Jessica immediately. The triptych painting she produced for me, in her signature abstract style, creates an incredible atmosphere in the space. I love her exuberant use of texture, colour and pattern.”
ARCHITECTS
“What I love about Jessica’s landscapes are probably that they are more intuitive rather than planned. The manner in which she builds up cumulative layers of paint by adding, moving, and subtracting paint. Her canvases have the same intrinsic beauty of a palimpsest where layers are scraped back to expose prior layers and then blurred again. Jessica’s abstract work is remarkable for the illusion of space that it develops out of this incidental process.”
ART CONSULTANTS
