"Yvonne Jacquette depicts our urban world from a vantage point high above us. From her perch, she brings order and context to the crazy world we have made. Neon signs, strings of cars on dark highways, bright lit windows viewed from the top of a skyscraper or from an airplane window become the dashes of color Jacquette uses to describe light and space in her paintings and prints." For me, her landscape painting is so vivid I almost feel as if I am back home looking out over the dark, saturated beauty of the Manhattan skyline. Such a tactile depiction of our modern times. Just beautiful...* Quoted text via Shark's Ink
