Jenna Gribbon’s paintings parse and reorganize images “not (into) natural spaces, or dream space, but waking brain space.”  Psychologically loaded, I find it hard to figure out what is going on, but I can’t look away either.  Jenna worked as an assistant to Jeff Koons, maybe laboring on some of his billboard sized photorealist paintings is where she got some of her chops.

Jenna is going to have a solo show at Priska C. Juschka sometime in the near future, and a couple of group shows – one at the National Arts Club that opens January 28, and one in Germany called “The Adventure of Reality” that travels – it opens January 23 at the Kunsthalle  Emden and travels to Munich where it opens June 11.
