Her work explores themes surrounding the exclusively human search for a sense of purpose and validity and the subtle and strange tasks, rituals and undertakings we execute to try and fulfill those needs.

Jo¥ (Holland)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/70161822@N04/

Jo Higgs was born in Haarlem, the Netherlands and studied Fine art at the Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten. After completing her BA degree she got involved in many artist groups and projects and has had several exhibitions throughout the country until moving to the UK in 2008 where she continued working as an artist and painter till this day.

Jo works purely from the subconscious; ‘pre-conceiving’ it in the form of making sketches or thinking about what she's going to paint before creating the actual work itself doesn’t work for her. Instead she will just start randomly flinging paint onto the surface, layer over layer, until some form emerges. Only when it feels like a 'suitable' image can she start working on the form, the colours and background.
