The palettes, the scale, those loose brushstrokes over dreamy female portraits… and clearly I had to include that video, which by the way, I could watch on repeat all day. Sigh. This is the gorgeous work of Jess Cochrane, an Australian artist based in London. Here are the words from her ‘about’ page:

Cochrane’s work questions the relationship between society, consumerism and pop culture. Her focus is on feminine beauty, illustrated through the application of paint over photographic images. Cochrane reflects upon insecurity and perfectionism in the modern age. Connecting the history of art, design and advertising, she plays on the idea of pop culture and its roots that are planted in both displaying and disguising parts of ourselves.

Beautiful. Be sure to follow her on Instagram too, because she posts a lot of mesmerizing ‘in progress’ videos {like the one above that I’ve watched 23 times}.
