Have You Seen? Jade van der Mark

In this episode of the Have You Seen? series, Carrie chats with Jade van der Mark, a Paris-based painter and sculptor. Adept at using the Impasto technique, Jade van der Mark, plays with multi layered oil painting to sculpt the pictorial material. With thick brushstrokes and a heritage which navigates between the European influences of Abstract expressionism to the CoBra art movement, she plays with dimensions and breaks the ethos of perspective allowing the eye to wander from detail to detail in a mesmerizing manner. From Carrie: "Chatting with Jade was like diving into a colorful city! Her paintings capture the hustle and bustle of urban life. In “City Rhythms,” she paints vibrant, expressive figures moving through a lively cityscape. The way she uses brushstrokes and detail brings out the motion and diversity of city living. Each piece feels like a story unfolding right before your eyes." Explore Jade's work: https://https://jadevandermark.com/ Thanks for listening to this episode of the Seen podcast.
