Surroundings by Jerusa Simone
Jerusa Simone’s approach to painting is based on daily personal experiences,
reoccurring emotions and memories. In her process, naive drawings often emerge
from abstract backgrounds which were created devoid of pre-existing ideas,
allowing her to embrace painting as an act based on spontaneous movements and
intuitive choices. Subtle, informal lines give shape to ordinary objects assembled
with human figures, reproducing familiar visual signs as well as strangeness. All her
work, regardless of the medium, consists of reconstructing the connection
between symbols and meaning, using abstract and figurative forms, color and
texture in order to stimulate the viewer visually and intellectually.
