Loosely Woven Burlap Mimics Digital Pixels in Jennifer J. Lee's Photorealistic Paintings
Briefly

Jennifer J. Lee's artwork, showcased at Klaus Von Nichtssagend Gallery, uses jute burlap as a canvas for photorealistic scenes, drawing parallels between digital and analog imagery. Her works reflect nostalgia and the act of observation, turning mundane objects into meaningful references. By contrasting the rapid consumption of digital images, Lee's process emphasizes depth and attention, leading viewers towards a reflective experience. Her paintings capture the intricacies of surfaces, portraying smooth and textured materials in harmonious dialogue, and evoke the transitional era of the early 2000s marked by technological advancement.
Lee's technical ability to translate finite details onto a relatively rugged surface speaks to the time and attention required to produce a single painting.
Her work challenges the instant gratification of scrolling through endless images, engaging viewers in 'waking meditation and sustained observation'.
