In New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love. Here in London, Jaq embarks on her own summer-long journey of creativity.
She continues to expand her brand new series, Nirvana, which embodies the values of that infamous summer in her own signature style. Introducing huge and powerful oil on canvas paintings, some measuring 137cm x 183cm, this abstracted landscape collection of florals and meadows plays with the effect of light and shadows. Luminous and striking, with strategically-placed streaks of red and some darker areas of disturbance, the tryptich Elysian Fields echoes the persistent struggle between peace and war. Experimenting with an entrancing new vivid blue, purple and green colour scheme and dripping paint, Jaq has assured her most recent work is full of energy. Watch for pictures soon.
A taste will be revealed in her first ever art catalogue, to be printed this summer by Colourhouse. This 40-page, glossy publication, complete with large, high-quality images and captivating descriptions, offers a special gift of a complimentary print to those who make a purchase.
Her catalogue brings another first to the mix as Jaq has made the decision to sell her delicate oil on paper paintings. These unique works, previously available only as prints, are highlighted in contemporary frames and feature oriental figures, still lifes and women from her Rococco series.
In September, Jaq's summer of creativity will culminate in an exhibition of her most recent work at Jiq Jaq Gallery (located at 112 Heath Street, Hampstead) which will display a selection of paintings from her Nirvana, Solano and Delicacies series.
