About Jessica:
Los Angeles-based artist Jessica Taylor Bellamy explores the tension of living at the edge of a precarious paradise. Primarily working with oil painting, Bellamy also incorporates screen printing, video, and sculpture into her practice. Her paintings function as collages that intend to deconstruct idealist narratives by exploring the political, social, and ecological implications of a false promise of paradise and false notions of progress. Through a critical and loving approach, Bellamy examines the phenomenological experience of the California landscape and proposes that we reimagine our relationship to the environment and examine the social structures that strain it. Bellamy creates layered compositions of overlapping and intersecting representations of culture, history, plant species, and sun phases that result in dream-like narratives or windows that give form and visibility to unseen or alternative possibilities. Often she pulls from her own archive of collected data —the LA Times sunrise, sunset, and moon phases; temperature charts; oral histories of her Afro-Cuban immigrant family's experience of environmental change— to create a research practice and visual lexicon that is constantly remediated and layered back into her art.
