expositiepublicatie Jennifer Smith
Tinimini Room, 18 februari - april 2023
‘Contorting bodies pile over each other make it difficult to distinguish whose face belongs to whose body. While its subject matter is still unmistakably figurative and recognisable, the style is almost completely abstract. Powerful brushstrokes make the contrasting outlines of the figures, that are being filled in with one colour, maybe a second to emphasise shading.
