Art Works Gallery hosts Jessica Hancock exhibit
By Linda Kiley
Art Works Gallery will show an exhibit of pen and ink drawings and paper cuts by Jessica Hancock. The opening reception will take place Sept. 27 from 5 to 8 p.m. in conjunction with the Friday Art Walk. The exhibit will remain through Oct. 19. In addition to this spectacular show, Red Acre Farm will pop up with seasonal, farm fresh treats perfect to enjoy while strolling the Art Walk.
Jessica Marie Hancock is a visual artist producing highly detailed drawings with strong geometric elements. She received bachelor’s degrees in communication and art from Westminster College of Salt Lake City in 1998. Interested in the concepts of design and spatial relationships, her work explores the idea of abstraction as it relates to aesthetic uniformity and universal balance. Her artistic style is very clean and has been described in many ways, but the favorite is “Vennism” — breaking apart multivariate reality into constituent and relational elements as separated and nested two-dimensional representations.
Hancock has been the focus of many solo exhibitions and included in over 65 art shows since 2013. She is the recipient of various honors and awards, including membership with the National Association of Women Artists and the American Watercolor Society. Her work has won many awards including a Distinguished Artist Award from ArtAscent Art & Literature Journal. She was also awarded the year-long 2015–16 Stutz Artist Association Studio Resident Award as well as one of 12 seats at the Butler University Religion, Spirituality, and the Arts Symposium in 2016.
Hancock’s work has been used by many well known corporations including the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Boy Scouts of America, and Pearl Drums. She has been published twice by Westminster John Knox Press and can be found in print circulations including Artist Talk Magazine, ArtAscent Art & Literature Journal, StudioVisit Magazine, and Artblend Gallery’s “The Art Book 2019” and “The Art Book 2020.”
