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.
Getting ready! I find that the few hours leading up to the date are sometimes the most intense! It's easy to overthink things with so many emotions in the way. I especially enjoyed this shot as it showed my models with more of their personalities expressed. I love the smiles and the obvious excitement!

Notice the "excelsior", which is after I used the word in my writing. A corny, motivational directive on "overthinking", the sister-in-law along with the Black harasser's image of a car. More than one perpetrator's pin can show.

Not so much stressed I guess. More terrified of my future as far as schooling goes. I doubt myself a lot..especially in my abilities to keep up in classes without overworking and overstressing and overthinking everything.
For this one I pretty much just hung the camera on a tree branch on timer and posed with the first thing that I felt. Apparently this is it.
Commandments:
Family first.
Let go.
Do only what matters.
Be positive.
Move.

Identify your aims. Ask yourself:
What makes you feel good? What gives you joy, energy, fun?
What makes you feel bad? What brings you anger, guilt, boredom, dread?
What makes you feel right? What values do you want life to reflect?
How can you build an atmosphere of growth--where you learn, explore, build, teach, help?
* * *
Some notes from last year. Never overthink but to reflect is another thing.

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
