Columbus: Two Perspectives is a collaboration between cityscape painter, Jessica Wojtasek and printmaker Jennifer Jolley-Brown – both artists are members of Studios on High Gallery in the Short North.

This initial show is a preview of a larger collection that will be featured in the John Glenn International Airport at the Gateway to the Arts Gallery later this summer.

Jessica is a cityscape artist whose work focuses on energetic street scenes and iconic buildings from around Columbus. Jennifer is a printmaker whose work often features buildings, signs and structures from around Central Ohio. Together they will partner on different interpretations of specific scenes and share different ways they experience this urban landscape.

More details to come on specific dates and reception.

Jessica’s work will focus on Columbus street scenes from various neighborhoods. Her nocturne paintings balance realism with abstraction and create an illusion of reflectivity, placing the viewer directly in the scene. Jessica’s paintings will highlight the subtle qualities of certain scenes that sometimes go unnoticed. This collection of paintings, rooted in personal experience, seeks to encapsulate the enduring yet transient aspects of the city, inviting viewers to engage with the familiar in a nuanced and reflective manner.

Jennifer’s work will focus on historical buildings, properties and signage that highlights Columbus, the city's history, and aspects of specific neighborhoods and suburbs. Jennifer’s intaglio and relief prints incorporate both photographic and hand drawn elements. This allows her to blur the boundary between what is “real” and what is interpreted in order to evoke memory and create a sense of place. Jennifer’s works will include structures designated as historical endangered properties by Columbus Landmarks. The reasons these structures are deemed both historical and endangered are a large part of the appeal to Jennifer; She enjoys understanding why these structures are worthy of our consideration and potentially preservation.
