Jeremy Penn “La Petit Mort” at Galleria Ca’ d’Oro

Jeremy Penn’s work explores the dichotomies in suggested dialogues between men and women. He expresses these powerful tensions through his bold use of color, mixed media, and text. In his current exhibition “La Petit Mort” which will be on view at the Galleria Ca’ d’Oro in Chelsea from October 19th through November 18th, Penn breaks the taboo of self indulgence and captures the sacred moments, mostly of women, discovering their bodies and the acceptance to seek and find pleasure outside the stigma of the female solely being a reproductive vessel. After being inspired by many forms of literature and sociological studies, he has developed a series that exudes a sophisticated interpretation of this blissful absentmindedness.
