Jennifer Moses’ Elbow Room: An Interview in Images with Linda Leslie Brown
Jennifer Moses’ quizzical, layered paintings are packed with physical and conceptual content. They also manage to pay homage, in ways both straightforward and sly, to a panoply of artists -some of whose work you may recognize below. Elbow Room, her show on view this month at Kingston, is a visual feast you won’t want to miss.
I met Jennifer for coffee recently to talk about her work, in an extension of an ongoing discussion we’ve carried on over the years. So, we sat around over at Nero the other morning talking about our art heroes and influences, of whom we have several in common.
Here’s one of Jennifer Moses’ works:

which started us both laughing. We could go on and on with this!
So I’ll leave it to you, Readers, to search out further references like these in Jennifer Moses’ paintings and collages at Kingston Gallery this November.
See you at Elbow Room!

What a fun, inspiring post. I think Jennifers paintings are so GitHub, gritty and funny. I am looking forward to seeing her show
Oops my iPad made up a word. I am not sure what GitHub should be, or is. I was trying to say they are so gutsy, gritty and funny.
What a great visual conversation!! Love it.
