Jessica Zoob, The Healing Power of Light, 2021, Acrylic with oil on canvas, 150 x 150cm.
This collection is about the precarious state of our planet, how passionate I am about it, how desperately I care for it, how fragile I understand it to be and how hopeful I am that with enough support and knowledge and people becoming less ignorant about what they are doing, by making good choices, by being willing to change and embrace the wild, we can actually protect and save our world and make it into the wonderful place it should be.I hope to encourage people to stop and gaze, to be reminded of the beauty of nature and to be inspired to protect it.-Jessica Zoob

“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.” – Leonie Irvine, Medici Gallery
