PAINT MY CANDY PLEASE: JESSGO AT 7 Continents 13/10/2011








Toronto-based Jessica Gorlicky is a local artist whose paintings reign amongst her peers in and out of the design industry for the last five years.

Her fan base and followers expends all across the country and continues to catch the eye and attention of art and design lovers everywhere. Gorlicky’s work is now showing in over 20 locations across Canada, including trendy restaurants, cafés, fashion boutiques, and art galleries.

Her own gallery and studio space, aptly named JessGo, in the north of Toronto, showcases her latest works on floor to ceiling canvases. Her latest collection of candy/cirque paintings is nothing short of colour cornucopia. He pieces are nothing short of expressive passionate, a bit rebellious and fun!

I have had the enormous pleasure of meeting and working with Jessica this past week whilst modeling in her 10,000 sq foot exhibition at the Seven Continents studios in Toronto. Models and dancers dressed in yummy candies undies, body painted from head to toe and picture perfect poses in bathtubs, center piece installations and picture frames as her painting dressed the perimeter from wall to wall. I was introduced to her by a great friend and supporter Gail Mcinnes of Megnet Creative.

Proudly this beautiful curly blond not only has looks, style individuality and imagination but a long list of accomplishments to go with it.

She recently sold one of her painting of Gordie Howe to private collectors for $15,000 and has been commissioned for live performance art across Canada by the likes of Coca-Cola, RBC, Cirque de Soleil, Vancouver Winter Olympics2010, Revlon, Holt Renfrew, Korhani at LG Fashion Week, Fiat, and CTV.

A preview of her new pieces can be seen on www.jessgo.com along with a full list of her upcoming exhibits. Over 75 live videos from around the world and live art performances can be viewed at: www.youtube.com/jeroby32. PHOTOGRAPHY BY: BRIGITTA KOGUT
