About Orange Cluster with Blue
A bouquet of luminous flowers in brilliant orange, gold, blue and violet in a bright turquoise vase pop from the dark green canvas in this gorgeous oil painting by Jennifer Hornyak. Poised between abstract and figurative work, Hornyak’s flowers are intended to be a metaphor for life. Her highly textured work is reminiscent of the great Fauvist artists such as Matisse.“Regardless of my intentions, the final shape of each flowerpot is a direct reflection of my mood. The objects may be the same, but how I paint them entirely depends on how I feel about the world that day. ” Jennifer Hornyak
She 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 including the Paris World Exhibition in 1987 where her work was shown alongside that of Modigliani, Picasso and van Dongen. Hornyak’s work is represented in many private and corporate collections.
