Artist Talk: Jen DeLuna

On the occasion of Jen DeLuna's solo exhibition, "Bite Of The Bitch, we will be holding an Artist Talk at the gallery for an in depth conversation of the artist's art and practice. In Jen DeLuna’s first solo show in Boston, the artist gestures toward the subversive, juxtaposing graceful feminine forms with gnashing canine teeth and uncanny still-life. This exhibition expands upon DeLuna’s established oeuvre; with each new piece, she contributes to a vast, otherworldly universe in which Lovers’ eyes gaze watchfully from the wall and faces are cast in perpetual states of blurred motion.&nbsp; &nbsp; DeLuna’s paintings subtly reference mythology, literature, and Baroque sculptural forms, captivating the viewer with myriad nods to ancient and contemporary inspirations. The parted lips of&nbsp;One Moment&nbsp;recall the expression frozen on Bernini’s&nbsp;Saint Teresa, while&nbsp;High Pressure, First Bite, and the disembodied eyes allude to sources ranging from the myth of Medusa and Freud’s writings on castration anxiety to more recent works, such as Barbara Creed’s&nbsp;The Monstrous-Feminine&nbsp;and Rachel Yoder’s&nbsp;Nightbitch. DeLuna delicately paints the narrative of female vulnerability, while simultaneously reminding viewers of the more monstrous proclivities of her subjects.&nbsp; &nbsp; DeLuna (b. 1999) was born in Mobile, AL, received a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA and now lives and works in Boston, MA. She has had numerous exhibitions in New York City including her successful 2024 solo debut at Storage Gallery in Tribeca, NY and NADA Miami, FL. Her works have received reviews from&nbsp;Yale Radio, Whitehot Magazine&nbsp;and Family Style.&nbsp; &nbsp; RSVP: info@laisunkeane.com Jen DeLuna <a href="https://www.laisunkeane.com/exhibitions/61-jen-deluna-bite-of-the-bitch-solo-exhibition/">Bite Of The Bitch</a> February 21 - March 30, 2025
