‘Infinite Possibilities. Zero becomes the dot, becomes the circle and the sphere in which there is much harmony. Discovered beneath the microscope, Jacquelyn Stephens explores the minutiae of the processed image, reduced to its component dots of colour’. Courtesy David Thomas.
One of my first ever paintings focusing on the Benday dots screens used in the mass media. And very heavily influenced by POP art to boot. Newspaper images were abstracted and manipulated from exploring them under visual devises such as magnifying glasses and microscopes. I then reproduced and manipulated the dots by hand. Each painting becomes these crazy clusters of rhythmic vibrating spots and dots that pulsate through space. Reminiscent of the dancing molecules and frenzied atoms appearing in my later work.
A lot of fun but sometimes it used to do my head in.
I have had several successful gallery exhibitions and received some acclaim as an emerging modern artist. My artworks are well received and enjoyed by audiences around the world. David Thomas in his essay on my artwork describes my paintings as ‘seriously considered works of technical and creative assurance.’ I aspire to make beautiful original artworks from my studio in Melbourne, Australia.
What I enjoy most about my paintings is they make people smile with a sense of wonderment and feelings of happiness as well as giving their walls finesse and with a splash of colour for years to come.
