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.
