2019

About the Item

Glorious lilacs in an old pot set against a dark brooding surface in this sophisticated oil composition from renowned Canadian artist Jennifer Hornyak. A bouquet of lilacs on a navy and mauve ground is framed with light white in this intimate oil painting on canvas. Jennifer Hornyak is known for her still life and figurative paintings rendered in vivid colors with rich textured surfaces -- surfaces that are created over time through many layered glazes. The bold colors and flattened picture plane in this work reveals the influence of the modern French Fauvist masters such as Henri Matisse and Andre Derain. (b. Grimsby, UK) 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.
