An exhibition by Jessica Slack at INNSiDE hotel by Melia. dot-art and Jessica Slack invite you to join in her mission: To spread joy and positivity across the globe through her art. Her aspiration is to transform everyday lives, inviting people to immerse themselves in the mindful benefits of getting lost in abstract paintings.
Rooted in Joy celebrates the beauty of contrast within nature, bringing together two distinct yet deeply connected abstract expressionist collections by Slack: Rooted and Radical Joy.
Rooted honours the earthy, muted, grounding tones that echo autumnal landscapes, quiet woodlands and the steady rhythm of change. These works capture stillness, belonging and resilience, inviting viewers to feel the calm of being anchored. By contrast, Radical Joy bursts with the vitality of spring and summer with vivid sunrises, radiant sunsets and bold flowers in bloom. These works revel in unapologetic colour and radiance, celebrating joy as both playful and powerful.
Together, the collections reflect the cycles of nature: How stillness gives way to renewal and how quiet roots make way for radiant blossoms. It is a commentary on the power of presence, balance and the ever-changing beauty of the natural world.
Jessica is recognised as an emerging British artist, with honours such as the Signature Art Prize and Bethlehem Card Commission. Her artwork has found its way into the pages of The World of Interiors magazine, and she has had the privilege of creating commissioned pieces that now grace the streets of Liverpool city centre.
