Bright, whimsical, and intentionally capricious, the geometric paintings of Jessica Snow reveal a process that embraces the imperfection of human error. Drawing inspiration from sources such as the prints of Emilio Pucci, and the works of Ellsworth Kelly and Joan Miró, Snow creates each painting out of interactions between simplified shapes and colors. Interested in the ways the forms in her work can “collide, abut, drip or bounce off each other,” Snow allows for spontaneity in her abstractions. In Black Narcissus, fiery tetragons and triangles of orange, red, and black collide, sometimes fusing together, but more often separated by a thin space, leaving the white of the paper to show through.
