Work in Progress – stay tuned! Here is what I’m working on at the moment. these blindfold images consume me, they are so dark and raw, painful pieces with really interesting subtexts that I am enjoying watching evolve. it sometimes feels like I have very little part in the development of these pieces, as if…

We must see to it that the man looking at the picture has at hand everything he needs to paint a nude. If you really give him everything he needs — and the best — he’ll put everything where it belongs, with his own eyes. Each person will make for himself the kind of nude he wants, with the nude that I will have made for him.

The control freak in me loved organizing the whole thing, not having to fit in with other artists (usually also control freaks) and being able to have final say. a lot of the things I had percolating in the back of my mind from my other exhibitions definitely played a part and on the whole I thought they went well…. because I was so rushed the opening wasn’t as well organized as I would have liked and I didn’t have time to issue a second press release.
Freedom – 36 x 36 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum With all of the hooraw around my exhibition I’ve been a bit remiss in reporting other things that have been happening.
