Small Plates

Arriving fresh from the holidays is a stunning new series by Jessie Feitosa.

Small Plates serves up a delightful summer banquet of simple morsels rendered with warm, bright tones and a graphic style that brings contemporary panache to the still-life genre.

With clean lines, washes of natural light and elegantly undone compositions, works in this series are redolent of languorous summer days, instilling their surroundings with colour, verve and flashes of happy memories.

The artist describes her paintings as a celebration of life’s simple pleasures. “This body of work carries you back to any moment spent enjoying seafood,” she says. “Whether sitting on warm sand or pondering a restaurant’s wine list as you catch up with old friends.”
