Jennifer Bartlett
Locks Gallery
128 North Broad Street
This particular show was actually closed, or in the middle
of being taken down. It is located
on the second floor of the Locks Gallery and after I was upstairs viewing the
show that I find out the show was actually closed. At any rate, I still had a chance to snap a few photos and
spend a little time around the work.
Something interesting that I noticed with Jennifer’s work is
on the sides of the paintings. She
has some of the dots painted in some spots and not painted in others
areas. It appears as if she either
forgot, which I’m sure was not the case, or she felt that it was unnecessary to
finish painting. The paintings are
large and I thought that maybe she painted them on the floor but you can clearly
see drips on the canvas from the brush.
Notice the edge of the panel
See the light green dot isn't finished
Her work seems unfinished and not fully refined with the
pencil marks showing and thin layers of paint. From a distance these blemishes are not noticeable and I
really like the way her work plays with your eyes and has good push and pull
with the different colors.
