This event has ended.

Jeannie Freilich Contemporary (formerly Jeannie Freilich Fine Art) is pleased to announce the opening of our new and expanded space in Chelsea. Our inaugural exhibition in the new premises presents the work of Spanish born artist Fernando Renes (b.1970 Covarrubias, (Burgos) Spain). The show titled, "Havemeyer Street Animations," includes two new animations as well as hundreds of related drawings. Composed from 7,000 drawings in ink and watercolour, "Omnivorous Romance" initially appears innocent and spontaneous. But, the projection belies its own complex nature and, at certain points, takes on striking allusions: an intimate gathering of characters and toys is “bombed” by pitiless airplanes, and in another scene, floating heads leave fiery destruction in their wake. As Renes says, “For me, the deeper story is just as important as the form.”
