Gateway to the Arts

August-September

Jennifer Jolley Brown

&

Jessica Wojtasek

Jessica and Jennifer are both members of Studios on High Gallery in the Short North. For this project they will partner together to create a body of work that showcases different perspectives from around Columbus.Jennifer is a printmaker whose work often features buildings, signs and structures from around Central Ohio. Jessica is a cityscape artist whose work focuses on energetic street scenes and iconic buildings from around Columbus. Together they will partner on different interpretations of specific scenes and share different ways they experience this urban landscape.  More specifically, Jennifer’s work will focus on historical buildings, properties and signage that highlights Columbus, the city's history, and aspects of specific neighborhoods and suburbs. Jennifer’s intaglio and relief prints incorporate both photographic and hand drawn elements. This allows her to blur the boundary between what is “real” and what is interpreted in order to evoke memory and create a sense of place. Jennifer plans to include structures designated as historical endangered properties by Columbus Landmarks. The reasons these structures are deemed both historical and endangered are a large part of the appeal to Jennifer; She enjoys understanding why these structures are worthy of our consideration and potentially preservation.  Jessica’s work will focus on Columbus street scenes from various neighborhoods. Her nocturne paintings balance realism with abstraction and create an illusion of reflectivity, placing the viewer directly in the scene. Jessica’s paintings will highlight the subtle qualities of certain scenes that sometimes go unnoticed.

Spaghetti Warehouse by Jennifer Jolly Brown is a print of the old building in disrepair with a fence around it. The sky has blue marbling and the ground is tinted brown.

Dairy Queen Worthington by Jessica Wojtasek. The painting features the old Dairy Queen sign in neon with a cone shape to the left.  Below the sign are tables with red and white umbrellas.  The building is a brick building with a mansard roof to the right of the sign.  The ground is wet from a recent rain. Beyond the sign you see approaching headlights in the street. The painting features blues, reds, blacks, greys, yellows and greens.
