Artist Statement
Jessica Palermo is a multidisciplinary artist and mother residing in Los Angeles, CA. Palermo works in a variety of mediums including acrylic, oil, and graphite. Her work explores feelings attached to defining moments in time and the inevitable transience that follows. Motherhood, domesticity, and sexuality are some of the the themes represented through abstract figurations, that suggest the fundamental human process of erasure and reinvention. The combination of Palermo’s gestural brushstrokes and rhythmic layers of color result in a deliberate union between both the ephemeral and abiding aspects of memory.
