Jennie Booth "The Universe Goes Looking 4 an Answer"
chashama Gallery (461 W 126th St.)
This event has ended.
The Universe comes to Harlem, chashama's 461 Gallery, presenting mixed-media paintings by New York City artist Jennie Booth. Booth fills the gallery with glowing portraits of an iconographic Universe, walking thorugh the landscape of her own Consciousness.
Through a blend of brain science, physics, psychology, religious Iconography and landscape tableaux, these paintings express the power and vulnerability of the human psyche when faced with its own vast and mysterious nature.
Booth explains, "Our individual realities are a case of 'all brain, all the time.' It is ironic that the 'sane' interpretation of experience depends on a delicate mass of cells that we rarely think about." Hers is a journey through a world of Freaky Observers, vibrating Strings, life-anchoring yucca and blazing sunsets painted with jewel-like colors that have the feeling of stained glass.
