Art Shows to Leave the House for in September 2024

Australian artist Jess Cochrane’s figurative paintings explore contemporary culture through themes of consumerism, pop culture, and fashion. Drawing inspiration from Cézanne’s bathers and referencing Australian painter Grace Cossington Smith, Cochrane blends historical and cultural context with modern details like smartphones and contemporary fashion. Her thick, repetitive brushstrokes echo Impressionism, weaving together multiple subjects to explore the cyclical relationship between art and society that bridges past and present.
