4me4you features “it won’t last forever”..
Artist: Jess Cochrane.
4me4you recently had the opportunity to visit Gillian Jason Gallery, where the artist Jess Cochrane presented her exhibition titled “it won’t last forever”..
In her work, Jess Cochrane explores themes of connectivity and friendship, drawing from personal experiences to create compositions that resonate deeply with viewers. Her paintings depict familiar, relatable scenes, capturing the joy and intimacy of shared moments. Through the dynamic movement of her brushstrokes, Cochrane conveys a sense of spontaneity and natural ease.
"I am not trying to make ‘loud’ works," Cochrane explains. "Nothing in the way I work has any element of overthinking; I allow everything to come naturally. That’s why I am drawn to leisure scenes: they are peaceful, natural moments, not forced or artificial."
Her exhibition It Won’t Last Forever reflects on our impulse to freeze fleeting moments, especially through digital photography and social media, as we attempt to immortalise them. Cochrane touches on consumerist habits and the passage of time, highlighting the transient nature of both moments and objects. Her compositions often include subtle details of personal indulgence—like food, drinks, or cigarettes—while her still lifes feature objects of consumption, such as a bowl of tangerines or a burning candle.
To explore these ideas, Cochrane participates in the same digital cycle, using reference images taken on her phone, which she then brings to life through paint. This interplay between the physical and digital worlds is central to her art, offering a pause from the constant digital presence and grounding the viewer in the present moment. Her brushwork captures the immediacy of the 'now', showcasing the unique power of paint over digital imagery.
"Paint has far more power than an iPhone," Cochrane notes. "There is a lot of familiarity in the act of capturing per se, but there’s something joyous and special about being able to take a moment and honour it through paint."
Cochrane’s figurative scenes often include phones, symbolising both their role in preserving special moments and their tendency to pull us away from the present. Her still life compositions further explore digital consumption and the excess of photo-taking, intentionally composed to mimic the stiffness of Instagram’s square format.
In a nod to modern technology's flaws, Cochrane incorporates the distortions caused by phone cameras into her paintings, subtly commenting on how technology distorts our perception of reality. This recalls the work of Cézanne, who prioritised composition over proportion—particularly evident in Cochrane’s bathing scenes—and whose influence can be seen in her approach.
It Won't Last Forever is a poignant meditation on memory, technology, and human experience. Melding the influence of Impressionist masters with modern consumerism and digital culture, Cochrane offers a profound commentary on the ephemeral nature of contemporary life. Her work also draws from Australian artist Grace Cossington Smith, who, like Cochrane, found inspiration in Impressionism, forming a sentimental connection between their artistic and personal journeys.
Through her nuanced brushwork, Cochrane captures the fleeting beauty of everyday moments, encouraging viewers to reflect on the impact of technology on our lives. In doing so, she not only honours the tradition of painting but redefines its relevance in today’s fast-paced, digital world.
From East to West
Amoris stands between the opposite of two spirits
A spirit that fills its land with sadness and a spirit that fills it with hope.
An 18 years old Egyptian woman with an innocent spirit
Overnight her father “elite” died and he left her a large island called “spes island”
Stands and the overthinking consumes her brain with the only question” what I will do?!”
By the way, Do you still remember elite?!
her father didn't leave her anything except this hoopoe that lived with her father throughout his reign whose role will be to provide her with the power of insight during her reign in the island.
Drawing. Pastels, pencil. March, 2013.
This piece is special to me for I wanted to create something energetic and frivolous at the same time, I think for the first time in this capacity. I usually find myself spending lots of time sketching and preparing for the aimed notion before I start working on the final piece. However, when I made this drawing I was not overthinking at it at all. I was surprised how quick I was able to draw it and how fast my emotion was working. It was an unexpected but really significant change of my approach to my work. And, I did it.

I love the little things. The simple things, reminds me of a simplier time. I think the older we get, the more we tend to overthink things, we don't just do things to enjoy the little moments anymore, every action just has to have a consequence in our own mind's eye. What if life is really about all the little moments, the little things, the first times, even if it's the only time. Sometimes we just have to live like there's no tomorrow.
“What doesn’t kill you makes you wiser” said the zen student. “Only when you learn to let go.” The senior added. “Is it? No, you’re not supposed to let go completely, are you? You have to learn the lesson, in order not to make the same mistake again.” “You have to let go in mind, not in memory. Letting go doesn’t mean you forget the whole thing, including the lesson. It just means you no longer hold on to any angsts from the incident, no longer think about it.” “If you don’t think about it, mull over it, squeeze every unforgettable pain out of it, then how would you get the lesson at all? I just wanna make sure I’m doing the best by all means to avoid such a pain again. ‘Cause my heart - it can’t afford another stroke. I don’t wanna miss the lesson. I wanna know why and from where and since when things have gone wrong and everything, and I wanna correct it the next time. I don’t wanna be a fool again.” “Friend, that’s not a very wise way to get wise, indeed. Unlearn. Make mistakes. Be a fool. If it helps. The thing is to not get caught in thoughts about it again. You must not think about it while not forgetting it either. Wisdom is not gained by overthinking and over-analyzing something that can’t be analyzed with an unwise mind.” “Then it’s a vicious circle! You have to be wise to get wiser? How ironic! I don’t wanna be a fool and make the same mistakes, so I have to painstakingly think about it and try to avoid it the next time. I think it works since I already know well why I got this way. I just can’t control the emotions associated with it, and I don’t know what exactly to do to get it gone once and for all, for it keeps turning back from time to time, and even though I’ve known it pretty well, I seem unable to do anything about it when it shows up.” “Then you’re not really wiser. You’re just more knowledgeable. Thinking can scratches but a thin surface of the issue. It doesn’t truly help you correct mistakes. In fact, you made the mistake because you were absent-minded. So as long as you’re still absent-minded, you will keep making unnecessary mistakes, no matter how many (Cont in cm) #zen #mindfulness #monologue #innerpeace #serenity #peaceful #zenvibes via Instagram ift.tt/2yMCEI5

When I spoke in Muscat, Oman at the International Roads Union conference - the event on which this photo is from - a good part of my talk was focused on the future electrification of most trucking fleets. I was making the point to the audience that they were going to see electrification occur faster than they thought, and that they'd best start thinking about the implications in terms of investment, infrastructure, and more.
The pushback at this type of event - this one was in 2018 - is entirely predictable. "It will never happen." "Batteries are too heavy." "We won't get the range we need." "It will be too expensive." Every industry always has a chance to manufacture its future but often spends too much time manufacturing excuses. Today, virtually every major truck manufacturer has advanced, aggressive plans for electric vehicles, and already, the Tesla Semi is making significant inroads into organizations like Pepsi.
What happens when people are too busy manufacturing excuses rather than inventing action? They overthink things; they study issues to death; they defer action. This drives action-oriented people insane - we all get really annoyed with people who don't have action embedded in their soul; those who always seem to plan but never seem to do; those who are always analyzing but are never acting upon what they've strategized. We've long had a phrase we apply to this state of affairs: "analysis paralysis."
It's my firm belief that post-pandemic, this situation has become much worse.
I see it on the frontlines of the inquiries I receive for engagements; someone in an organization decides they need to better understand the future and innovate their way around it, and finds me. Then, the organization can't make a decision to go forward until the very last minute. I witness it when I see the trends which define the most popular pages on my Website - my article from almost 20 years ago on aggressive indecision still ranks highly. I see it mentioned in the phone calls I'm having with clients as we work on the structure and content for an upcoming talk. I see it all around me as people continue waiting for - and freezing - a recession that has yet to happen.
We seem to be a society and business world defined by inaction - do you see it too?
What's the cause of this sorry state of affairs? A root culture of indecisiveness within organizations - indecision is at their core. A lack of a real dialog about the real issues that need to be confronted - no one dares to bring up the 'big issues.' Leadership teams are full of hubris and arrogance - their way is the 'right way.' A corporate structure that does not encourage free-flowing ideas or supports those who might dare step out of the ranks. A lack of closure on previous projects - everyone is always busy still fixing the 'last big thing.' The lack of a real trends and innovation loop. A poor understanding of their future. The list goes on.
What the heck can you do about this? It's a tough nut to crack because indecisiveness is usually a deeply entrenched mindset that has become entwined into the overall culture of the organization - there is no foundation for action, a mindset for initiative, or a basis for moving forward. It's probably the biggest leadership issue out there.
All I can suggest is to keep fighting, keep pushing, keep educating, keep confronting, keep on acting. Try to encourage a mindset that thrives on uncertainty, stops chasing clarity, embraces the fuzzy, and is aligned to surviving the volatility.
Above all, stop planning, start doing.
Act already!

Wake up! The summer of hibernation from fantasy football has ended prematurely, with the earliest ever launch of FPL for the 2021-22 season. If you managed to avoid getting involved in Euro 2020 fantasy, the game that we hold most fondly in our hearts has returned for another season. Just 30 days after the final game of 2020-21, the FPL website refreshed for the new season on Tuesday lunchtime. That early start puts fantasy managers in a dangerous position — there are now an unprecedented seven and a half weeks of tinkering (and potential overthinking) before the August 13 deadline for Gameweek 1. || Alexander Sabadash
"Keep it simple". When I lose the natural abundant flow of life it's usually because I'm overthinking my process. This planter symbolizes going back to the basics: good seeds, good soil, water and sun. When I ground myself in trust, love,and joy, free flow returns.
