Littlejohn Contemporary is pleased to present an exhibition of recent work by Jennifer Knaus. J E N N I F E R K N A U S PAINTINGS and DRAWINGS FEBRUARY 14 – MARCH 31, 2012 The imagery I create comes from an interest in combining female iconography with still life painting. Each image is an amalgamation of various attractions such as Art History, my back yard, the salad bar at Stop and Shop, retro kitsch, and the like. The image usually starts with myself, or with a friend, and then gets taken apart and reassembled with other elements. Although the results may seem surreal, I am more inspired by the Surrealists’ techniques of tapping into the subconscious rather thanby actual Surrealist painting. I have a desire to personalize idealized notions of beauty and importance. To embellish icons with humor and a little absurdity but also within those details to suggest a narrative that is mysterious and atmospheric. - Jennifer Knaus L I T T L E J O H N C O N T E M P O R A R Y ~~ please note new address ~~ 547 West 27 Street, Suite 207 New York, NY 10001 mobile 203-451-5050 www.littlejohncontemporary.com GALLERY HOURS Tues thru Sat: 10 – 6
