Yvonne Jacquette's Aerial Realism at DC Moore Gallery Through April 22
The DC Moore Gallery is currently showcasing Yvonne Jacquette's exhibition, which runs until April 22 at 724 Fifth Avenue, New York. The collection features paintings that merge realism with artifice, offering aerial views of both urban and rural landscapes. Jacquette’s studio pieces, inspired by her on-site pencil sketches, employ a rich mark-making style that echoes Van Gogh and early 20th-century printmakers. This technique transforms familiar landmarks into exotic scenes. Notable works include "Above Times Square" (2003) and "Lower Manhattan and New Jersey, with Water Towers II" (2005), which create depth through geometric designs. Her recent piece, "Walmart and Other 'Big Box' Stores, Augusta ME II" (2006), reflects on suburban expansion through a Buddhist lens, influenced by her late husband, Rudy Burckhardt, and modern photographers.
