Hatched Green

About Hatched Green

This floral oil painting was made by a Canadian artist.

As a young artist, Jennifer Hornyak appreciated the distinctive color and form of the Fauvist masters of more than a century ago. Hornyak’s work pays homage to that genre but the Canadian artist has developed her own expressive style that lies somewhere between figuration and abstraction. Her impressive oeuvre is distinguished by her technique of adding layered brushstrokes of oil paint in deeply rich colors to create remarkable depth and texture.
This intimate painting of a vase of flowers on a table has a sumptuous palette of cerise, purple, turquoise, melon, and black against a hatched green background.

“I like rich dark palettes that echo the classics but are rendered in a more contemporary, abstract way.” Jennifer Hornyak

Jennifer Hornyak studied at the Grimsby School of Art in England. In 1961, she moved to Montreal where she attended McGill University, the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, and the Centre Saidye Bronfman. Hornyak has exhibited throughout North America and Europe. Her work is represented in many private and corporate collections including Bombardier Transport, Burroughs Wellcome, McCarthy Tétrault, Power Corporation, and Hyatt Regency Hotel.
