This event has ended.

Jenkins Johnson Gallery, New York presents a solo exhibition in the Project Room of works by Los Angeles contemporary artist Vanessa Prager. This will be Prager’s first solo show with Jenkins Johnson Gallery in New York.

Influenced by classical painting, drawing, vintage photographs, film, and her love of animals, self-taught artist Vanessa Prager presents us with beautifully rendered drawings produced using common blue and red ballpoint pens, as well as ethereal paintings on canvas. Her work touches briefly on luminaries such as Balthus, Rembrandt and Egon Schiele, while remaining original and un-derivative. Prager is stylistically drawn to the “timeless quality” of the clothes and hairstyles of the forties and fifties, and her love for the past, coupled with her attraction to contemporary pop-culture and Americana, is palpable and provides us with an entry point into her rich narrative.
