Featuring Ocean Artist: JADE HOKSBERGEN [#FRANCE/TAIWAN]
Explore the quirky yet whimsical interpretations of marine life in psychedelic and technicolour! Jade Hoksbergen is a French-Taiwanese visual artist whose work can be described as: the mysteries of the underwater world meets modern art. Taking great inspiration from beneath the waves (she first scuba dived at 8 years old), as well as the great artists that came before her such as Picasso and Basquiat, Jade’s signature style is refreshingly imaginative as she puts her own spin to the aquatic creatures she has encountered. Her paintings provide a healthy dose of colour and symbolism, lightening up the spaces they inhabit. Although painting for over a decade, Jade’s work only recently came to market and has been eagerly received by a passionate following of international buyers. In Jade’s own words: “The ocean is a place I have often felt most free. Diving transports me to the same place painting does, a place of tremendous healing and relief… II keep my head above the water by painting what may lurk below.” When she’s not painting, Jade works as an award-winning underwater photographer and author, often alongside husband Henley Spiers. She resides in Devon, UK, along with their two young daughters.
