Motel Gallery in Portland is currently hosting "Overwhelmed" featuring the art of Jen Corace. Here are some of my favorite pieces from the show, which is now online.
Motel Press Release:
Motel is pleased to host our second solo exhibition for Jen Corace. "Overwhelmed" continues Corace's iconic narrative style with nine new (larger) works on paper. Employing dense, detailed motifs surrounding a central subject, these works explore tensions of perceived versus actual danger. Each composition is invaded by archetypes of peril, such as snakes, tentacles, tsunami waves and jackalope, representing physical and psychological landscapes that the subjects must negotiate. Elaborating on her established visual vocabulary, this collection exemplifies Corace's seductive line work, compositional skill, and narrative finesse. Simultaneously bearing a sophisticated restraint and obsessive excess, these immediate works flirt with visual and thematic paradoxes.
