Jackie Saccoccio at Tennis Elbow at The Journal Gallery

Tennis Elbow at The Journal Gallery presents Jackie Saccoccio, opening October 5 through 11, 2019 from 12-6pm.

Jackie Saccoccio is a contemporary American abstract painter. Her large-scale works explore the formal language of painting through the process of layering and pouring pigment, resulting in digital-leaning spatial illusions. “I want the canvas to record the entire passage of the painting experience, including whatever self-doubt and bravado that went into its making,” she explains of her aggregate, alchemical painting process. Born in 1963 in Providence, RI, Saccoccio obtained her BFA there at the Rhode Island School of Design before receiving her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The artist has exhibited her work extensively, notably including exhibitions at Eleven Rivington in New York, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, and the Museo d’Arte Contemporanea in Genoa, among others. Saccoccio currently divides her time living and making work between Connecticut and New York.
