Lévy Gorvy Dayan is delighted to present a solo booth of new paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Jenna Gribbon at TEFAF New York.
Gribbon’s small-format works function diaristically—portraying intimate scenes from her daily life. The cycle of paintings debuting at TEFAF represent Gribbon’s wife and frequent subject, the musician Mackenzie Scott, seen from behind in lush natural settings across the United States—from the woods of Fire Island, New York, to the lakes of Tennessee, to the wilds of Georgia, and the canyons of New Mexico.
With these compositions, Gribbon engages the symbol of the Rückenfigur, or turned figure, of Romanticism—while also gesturing toward her longstanding interest in Impressionism. As Gribbon created these paintings, the couple was confronting the grief and loss of Mackenzie’s father, who passed away earlier this year. Her new paintings tenderly represent visions of a loved one on a journey of mourning, while encompassing the essences of companionship, nature, and mortality.
