Homage to the Creative Spirit Overview
For centuries artists have been challenging their intellects
and skills by paying homage to the painters who preceded
them. Jenness Cortez has emerged as the twenty-first century's most notable exponent of this facet of art history. Her masterful work gives Cortez solid footing in the colorful
lineage of artists who have appropriated vintage images
and woven them into their own distinctive, recognizable
fabric.
Cortez reexamines the classic paradox of realism: the
painting both as a window into an imagined space and as a physical object. Her work challenges the viewers intellectual curiosity and celebrates the sheer pleasure of beautiful painting. In her series of Homage paintings, Cortez plays
author, architect, visual journalist, art historian, curator and pundit to help open our eyes to what we might otherwise have overlooked or taken for granted. Each painting presents a specific theme, mixing straightforward cues and obscure allusions, complemented by references to
other artists lives and times. By masterfully presenting iconic works of art in unexpected modern settings, Jenness Cortez inspires us to see differently to rediscover and
revalue our own creative power in everyday life.
