About Scattering

A master painter whose celebrated work has spanned four decades, Jennifer Hornyak continues to create new and evocative paintings. The Montreal based artist returns to a favourite genre—still life rendered in abstracted form. Hornyak’s floral bouquet sits in a cerise coloured vase in her signature palette of rich colours—purples, greens, a touch of orange, green and white. The backdrop is a contrasting deep teal and chocolate brown. A few curated forms appear scattered. Hornyak’s style has long been informed by both German Expressionism and 20th century French Fauvist masters but her own work is uniquely contemporary.

“People think I’m painting still life. But I have to say they’re not. They’re abstractions. I use the flower as a metaphor for myself. “ Jennifer Hornyak
