It Won't Last Forever: Jess Cochrane

"I want my works to show a very intimate and personal side to existence, capturing moments of calmness amidst the chaos of everyday life. By painting these scenes, I hope to convey the beauty in fleeting moments and the impact of technology on our perception of reality".
With a focus on capturing contemporary culture and an exploration into the shared human experience, Jess Cochrane's figurative works create a thematic thread of consumerism, pop culture, and fashion. The compositions often involve multiple subjects, weaving together a story influenced by Impressionist gathering scenes.
This body of work specifically draws inspiration from Cézanne's bathers and references Australian female painter Grace Cossington Smith, adding layers of historical and cultural context to her exploration of contemporary themes. Such echoing of an Impressionistic past, further emphasised by the thick, repetitive brushstroke, paired with contemporary details - today's clothing, smartphones, recent technology - reflects a cyclical perspective on the intersection of art and society.
