Jennie Rosenbaum is an emerging artist specializing in contemporary figurative pieces. She works continually with her passion for the human body, exploring contemporary styles and media. Her art is rich, frequently confronting and varied in style, context and meaning.
Jennie excelled at art and design at school, winning several awards and has studied art, anatomy and design at a university level. Jennie has been working professionally as an artist for three years following a car accident. Painting was a part of her rehabilitation and became a way to manage her feelings and pain. Despite her disability Jennie still considers the accident beneficial as it allowed her to get back in touch with her art.
Jennie has always been drawn to the figure and to nudes, but now she has a greater appreciation for the sensuality and mystery of the human body. Jennie has since immersed herself in nude art and, in addition to painting, writes about the various controversies raised by this contentious artform and advocates groups dedicated to nude art.
Expression, a face, emotion, the body. This is the focus of my contemporary figurative art. The works are sensual, the lines flowing and connected revealing the sense of connection we have to our bodies and our minds.
Artist Statement:
Feeling, texture, dimension, these works invite contact, extended viewing. I employ texture and light to communicate to the viewer, not only visually but via touch as well. These paintings and drawings reach out to you, to something inside. they should pull you in headfirst with feeling.
People each receive different feelings from my works, My aim is to inspire emotion within the viewer, to allow them to feel a powerful connection. My pieces may be distorted, abstracted, realistic, textural, expressionistic, impressionistic or traditional.
The nude body is a beautiful, sensual, expressive entity. We communicate through so much more than our voices and resonate feelings through body language. Every size is beautiful when the person inside shines out.
Embrace individuality.
