Jennifer Hornyak
Man With Pink Shirt - large abstracted male portrait figurative still life oil

2015

About the Item

Hornyak speaks of wanting to capture a certain “pathos and frailty which exists in the human condition.” Indeed, her large portraits speak of a profound sense of human solitude, as figures wander through parks and public spaces, disconnected witnesses isolated by their interiority. In this painting a man wanders through an abstracted landscape, his arms resting leisurely behind his back. Inspired by German Expressionism and the French Fauvist masters such as Matisse, Jennifer Hornyak is known for her still life and figurative paintings rendered in vivid colours with rich textured surfaces – surfaces that are created over time through many glazed layers. Hornyak was born in England where she studied at the Grimsby School of Art. In 1961, she moved to Montreal where she studied at 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 including Bombardier Transport, Burroughs Welcome, McCarthy Tétrault, Power Corporation and Hyatt Regency Hotel.

An ugly but kind-hearted girl, do you think she is beautiful? What is it that blurs the eyes of human beings and makes people's judgments of beauty vary widely? The painting use knife...
