Amorelle Jacox’s painting practice is rooted in an exploration of metaphysics, expanding from the self to the cosmic, and observing the traces of her Being in the all-permeating celestial void that is as present in the beyond as it is at the edges of consciousness. A pithy description of Jacox’s visual language is elusive, as it can be considered a unique synthesis of color field, transcendentalist, surrealist, and symbolist art-historical influences, as well as a negotiation between abstraction and figuration more broadly. The palpable gravity of her work betrays the enormity of the existential ideas Jacox is wrestling with, where a feminine spirituality coexists with and informs serious philosophical and psychological inquiry.

Jacox holds an MFA from Hunter College (2022). Recent exhibitions include Gravity was an entity at Management, New York (2024), An Infinite Sunder at Lauren Powell Projects, Los Angeles, CA (2023), and Two projections of time, Baseltor Kiosk, Solothurn, Switzerland (2022). She recently completed a residency with Wolf Hill Arts, Chappaqua, NY (2023). Jacox was a recipient of the Marjorie Strider Foundation Grant (2022). Her works and writing have been published in Art Maze (2023) and Yale School of Divinity’s LETTERS journal (2019).
