until 12.10. | #4444ARTatBerlin | Kuckei + Kuckei currently presents the exhibition My Fingers Against The Glass by the artist Jenny Brillhart.
Jenny Brillhart finds the motifs for her exquisitely executed paintings in unexpected and often overlooked places, materials and scenes from everyday life that catch her attention. The everyday is photographed and assembled into collages or moulded into three-dimensional arrangements in the studio and thus becomes the subject of her sparse, elegant compositions. Painted in mostly muted tones with deliberate colour accents, light and shadow play a dominant role and lend her works an atmosphere of calm and tranquillity. The influence of Shaker design and craftsmanship is deeply rooted, as is that of Charles Sheeler’s precise painting. Her masterful mark-making defines form, space and gravity.
Brillhart received her BFA from Smith College, Northampton, MA, and her MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art, with additional studies at the Art Students League, New York, NY. Her work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Emerson Dorsch Gallery, Miami, Florida, and numerous other solo and group exhibitions in Maine, Florida, Germany and Spain. In 2019 Brillhart’s work was included in the New England Biennial Exhibition at the de Cordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, MA, and in 2017 in the two-person exhibition Temporality: Jenny Brillhart & Sara Stites at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art. She lives and works in Blue Hill, Maine, USA.
