FRIEND * FIEND* FOE *
Driven by an insatiable curiosity, A. Jay Hoyt uses modern mannerist techniques and satire to create artificial compositions in oil on canvas filled with stylized disproportional figures, personal and religious iconography, flattened perspectives, and ambiguous spaces. Hoyt focuses on themes of social myth, moral imagination, identity, and grief. An archivist of human absurdity, her art serves as a visual record of the personal, intellectual, and cultural tensions of present day. You’re invited to participate in the shared human experience of making meaning.
FRIEND, FIEND, FOE?
The three pillars of A. Jay Hoyt’s creative practice are represented by the friend, an owl, the fiend, a wolf, and the foe, a two headed snake. The friend represents community—sharing the magic of art and creativity with your community. The fiend represents the vocation—that compulsion to create which one cannot ignore; the need to make sense of the world and our place in it. The foe represents the ego and an economic system chiefly concerned with managed reality, production, schedule and market.
