Jessie Boyer Senior Show Piece Review


By Chloe Baur
Grade 9
Jessie Boyer, Senior Showcase

Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts Building 9 Gallery, 501 Sapodilla Ave, WPB, FL



At first this piece did not stand out to me, but after walking by it a second time the bright colors of the figures clothing attracted my eye. I really enjoy the small painterly brushstrokes. They have slightly contrasting hues in the strokes of paint. I also enjoy how the colors of the paint pop against the surface of the natural material it was painted upon. 
The poses of the figures seem as if they are climbing with in a natural environment; eager to explore and go off onto a journey. 
There were many more pieces in the show with this same concept and feel, however this triptych was my favorite collection of paintings.  One recommendation I have to the artist and to other artists who work on a fragile and perishable surfaces would be to maybe seal the surface of the piece to prevent further decaying of the object.
