Jenny Mead
Paintings & Sculptures

Studios: Bethesda, MD & Key West, FL

A native of Richmond, Virginia, Jenny Mead produces montages -- acrylic paintings on canvas, paper and bits of wire mounted to birch-veneer plywood or archival museum board.

Due to their unique shapes, these recent paintings hang without frames. Their arbitrary edges represent the loss of boundaries in our age, when few ideas fit neatly into rectangles -- and when the chaotic rush of the new comes through borders both broken and porous.

The graphic symbols are those that bombard us everyday. Those ubiquitous little running men, thought balloons, and arrows, especially arrows, are everywhere -- highways, computer screens, cereal boxes.

These contemporary graphics are mixed with ancient forms of life -- cats, plants, roosters, humans- with contemporary graphics -- illuminating the conflict between old and the new -- a jamming up of history and technology.

Both sculptures from Sculpture Key West 2005 and 2006 embody a mix of the old and the new.
