My childhood was spent drawing on the last pages of my notebooks during class. The school year was torture for me; the best days were summer vacations spent with family and loved ones. I always wanted to create something; to draw or to paint, to the despair of my teachers and parents. I was facing […]
Educated Copyist: The Work of Jen Mazza
Jen Mazza’s latest paintings mix trompe l’oeil with the school of appropriation. Adding overlays of heavy punctuation marks and solid geometric shapes, they can convey the harmony of a duet, or the mischievous twist of black bars hiding the face of someone in a compromising position. The muted colors and meticulous details perfectly evoke the […]

Abstraction purists love to wail and moan when a show focuses mainly on the human body. Especially in New York, what could be worse than being forced to see a person everywhere you look? Most of us spend our entire daily commute with our eyes glued to the ceiling, our phone, or the floor, pretending […]

I come from the Faroe Islands, but I live in Denmark now. My inspiration comes from the Faroese light and colors. My art represents an eternal search and longing to recreate fleeting moments and the changing glimmer of light, but I must continuously remind myself that it can only be done in glimpses. ossurmohr.dk

A creation is not separated from the creator, until it leaves him. When I create, it is the representation of all parts and forces in me. Sometimes I will be under the influence of my inner and sometimes my inner will be in dialogue with something exterior, which has touched me and stayed engraved as […]

After earning my BFA, my career took the path of graphic design; however, my body of work encompasses a variety of styles including realism, portraiture, and charcoal drawings. Abstractions are my favorite creative release. I’ve always been interested in color, texture, and patina, and they pave the way for each of my abstracts to evolve. […]
