Jael O'Connor
Jael O’Connor studio is located in Brighton and Hove, UK.
His inspiration lies with the portrait and figurative painting, which has grown from his love of life drawing and painting. He is interested in the narratives that his subjects project; He is interested in the human form, face and character and the theatre of how we present ourselves to the world. He is concerned with costume and the internal narratives that his subjects project through how they look. The clothes, hairstyles or accessories that his subjects are often adorned with, are an important theme in his work; this can signify identity and the emotional or psychological hinterland of the subjects.
