YENNY COCQ

As an artist, Yenny is deeply inspired by nature. In her paintings and monotypes, this translates into a complex mix of emotions and color, depicting what she perceives of her natural surroundings. In them, she attempts to capture the varied experiences of her life as a landscape designer and naturalist. She uses organic permutations of line, color, and brushstrokes to represent indigenous forms of plant life and their landscape settings, and portray their intimate relationship with our planet. When applying layers of opaque under-paintings, mixed with transparent glazes, she is reminded of the sensation of holding fresh earth, moist and pregnant with potential growth.
