The hour-long talk will begin at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica Hargreaves\u2019s paintings depict mundane, intimate and fraught human experiences through figurative and animal imagery placed in allegorical settings. Her style pays homage to familiar history paintings, but with added molded creatures \u2013 wild-eyed snakes, tigers, seahorses and dogs \u2013 bulging out of the canvas and meandering the gilded frame.\u202fA menagerie also permeates her decorative, yet disquieting toile wallpaper. Vladimir Putin, Oprah Winfrey, Ivanka Trump, Beyonce\u0301 and other recognizable figures populate her paintings that depict both fantastical and realistic settings, or an unsettling hybrid of both. Hargreaves states that her directness and technique \u201cbring humanity\u2019s convoluted and emotional landscape into high relief.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Along with two other artists, Hargreaves co-directs Mother-in-Law&#8217;s, an experimental, installation-based project space in Germantown (Columbia County). She was born and raised in London, and earned a Bachelor\u2019s degree with honors in fashion and textile design at Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London). After working in fashion and illustration in NYC, she received a Master of Fine Arts degree from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. Since 2010, she has exhibited in numerous one-person and group exhibits throughout the greater NYC metropolitan area and beyond. Two posters she designed for the 2017 Women\u2019s March in Washington, DC were acquired by the Museum of The City of New York. She currently lives and works in NYC.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-144472 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jessica-Hargreaves_Snowvid_oil-acrylic-resin-on-wood-found-frame-30x35-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1565\" height=\"1311\" \/>Jessica Hargreaves: Snowvid, oil, acrylic and resin on wood panel and found frame, 30\u201d x 35\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Thu, 08 Dec 2022 12:50:44 +0000 by\u00a0d.gardner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; \u201cThe Blindspot of an Old Dream,\u201d an exhibition of paintings and installation by New York City Artist Jessica Hargreaves,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-student-announcement-college-related"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19294\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
