Jessica Zoob, The Healing Power of Light, 2021, Acrylic with oil on canvas, 150 x 150cm.
10 Chancery Lane Gallery is honoured to debut in Hong Kong British artist Jessica Zoob in her exhibition of paintings entitled “This Moment.” This body of work is about the extraordinary pivotal time we find ourselves in. The gallery will host a series of events to raise our consciousness towards the environment and use art as a way to do this.
In Jessica Zoob’s own words:
“This collection is about the precarious state of our planet, how passionate I am about it, how desperately I care for it, how fragile I understand it to be and how hopeful I am that with enough support and knowledge and people becoming less ignorant about what they are doing, by making good choices, by being willing to change and embrace the wild, we can actually protect and save our world and make it into the wonderful place it should be. I hope to encourage people to stop and gaze, to be reminded of the beauty of nature and to be inspired to protect it.”
