Edge of Silence Jacqueline Boberg JAN 24 - APR 19 Will be on View in the Marquee: Chatter , 2024, acrylic on canvas Rotunda Gallery < Back Overview My work is deeply shaped by experiences growing up in London in the 60’s, when fashion and music were exploding, where clothing became art, and design burst into the everyday. I have a simple aim - to create dynamic, vibrant works that jump on and off the wall. When faced with a blank canvas, I seek out materials that will inspire my internal dialogue. Though I may gather my media, plan a color scheme, and start with a thumbnail of a design, I most often end up following the way the materials balance as they hit the canvas.

Working in acrylic allows me to chase that immediacy and not fuss around as the paint dries instantaneously. Each canvas becomes a dialogue between instinct and experimentation, between what I see and what I feel. In the studio, joy lives in discovery — the thrill of pushing paint, of finding new challenges in every composition, of not knowing exactly where a brushstroke will lead. I embrace the possibility of failure as part of the creative process. Like Silicon Valley’s mantra, I believe in failing big and failing often — because each “failure” reveals something unexpected, something truer. My goal is simple: to capture not just the landscape itself, but the energy of the moment that inspired it — alive, imperfect, and full of wonder. Until I move on to the next thing… Previous Next
