Artist Jessica McCourt’s world, filled with mercurial and voluptuous figures, illuminates the strange eloquence and mystery of the supernatural. Her witchy, feminine subjects often appear as nudes or disembodied heads with bulbous hair, ruddy cheeked and bold, as if the viewer is spying on them in the act of ritual or in a moment of a supernatural trance. Executed in a hazy, dreamlike color palette, the work appears incandescent with the soft glow of the medium choice, adding another visceral layer to the haunting themes explored in each composition.
