Jenny Brosinski: Monkey Mind

About

The exhibition shows both two and three-dimensional works, emphasising the alternation between painting and sculpture. At first glance, Brosinski’s world conveys a close kinship between the opposite poles of abstract and figurative art.

Her work can be understood as ‘dirty minimalism’ or ‘cool expressionism’. ‘Riotous conceptual painting’ also fits. They are abstract worlds that reflect each painterly gesture and decision in an honest way, undisguised. The animals and monsters have sacrificed themselves; they step out of the painting and become sculptures. Something happens when the characters are extracted from the frame: the red sled heading toward an unknown destination the black imposes on the baby blue.
