All are welcome to attend the hour-long presentation.<\/p>\n<p>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 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-144472\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jessica-Hargreaves_Snowvid_oil-acrylic-resin-on-wood-found-frame-30x35-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"461\" \/>Jessica Hargreaves: Snowvid, oil, acrylic and resin on wood<br \/>\npanel and found frame, 30\u201d x 35\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).
