Jenna Gribbon "Visions of an Insomniac Soothsayer"
Priska C. Juschka Fine Art
This event has ended.
Priska C. Juschka Fine Art presents Visions of an Insomniac Soothsayer, an exhibition of paintings by New York-based artist Jenna Gribbon. In her paintings, Gribbon invites viewers into the intimate environment of her bed, and unfurls the product of her own thoughts and experiences upon their surface.
Blending personal items with general objects, and domestic items with
references to the natural world, Gribbon weaves a theatrical depiction of the everyday emotions and habits relating to spending time in bed. Acts of procrastination, thought processing, ceiling gazing, sleep and sex find various expressions in her layered works. Each painting is composed of imagery drawn from memory, observation, and photographs; this juxtaposition of sources echoes the manner in which images are stored in our minds—while some are vividly clear, others are hazy and abstracted.
