Artist Statement:
MY JOURNEY TOWARDS SELF
EXPRESSION AND ABSTRACTION.
I am searching for a way to
express myself through art,
trying to develop a way of
working as an individual which
is essentially my own way of
seeing and doing. I enjoy
drawing and painting the human
figure, and have been striving
for a way to freshen this
classical form of expression.
To this end I have studied the
work of many artists including
Schiele and Klimt. By
experimenting with the figure
and a combination of media and
techniques I hope to express
the human condition and its
interaction with the
environment. I aim to push
the boundaries of the portrait
and life studies using
abstraction to add movement,
drama and life to a static
pose. The figure in the
landscape, or as landscape is
also a re-occuring theme in my
work, as is the enjoyment of
the abstract sculptural
qualities found in nature.
I like to go with the flow,
exploiting the happy accident,
developing and modifying ideas
as I work. My colour palette
can often be arbitrary, with
dramatic colour being used to
express mood and
atmosphere....

Huddersfield Art Society 112th Annual Exhibitionist - 2008.
Best Marks for portraiture must go to Jill Moynan with Kerry (mixed media), Kathleen (acrylic) and Monday's model (acrylic). All powerful and characterful pieces, with interesting backgrounds too.
A quote from David Hamond, a positive review from Huddersfield Examiner's art critic.
Huddersflield Gallery 2008 - Oil Painting 'Instead of Ducks' by Jill Moynan was voted by the visiting public as the best work on show.
Artby6 Exhibition (Jan-May 2008) at the North Light Gallery, Huddersfield.
Some powerful portraiture comes from Jill Moynan, who studied graphic design at Huddersfield University, and she uses novel techniques. Her self-portrait, It’s Rude To, for instance uses acrylic paint over a collage of contemporary magazines. Figure with Red Hair (acrylic) is in completely different idiom, very close to abstraction. Transpositions, completely abstract, uses multiple layers of coloured tissue paper, instead of paint, sealed with PVA.
A quote from the Huddersfield Examiner article by Sarah Bull, February 22nd 2008.
