Fine Art : Jennifer Wroblewski

Large scale drawings and illustrations by Jennifer Wroblewski based in New Jersey. Her work is based on mark making and the use of rythm and feelings to create the drawings. Jennifer mainly uses charcoal for her artworks. Her series new momuments to the anticoncept and large abstractions are my favourites although I quite enjoy the use of colours in new collaboration and the great sense of abstraction in her self portraits. Jennifer’s work reminds me slightly of Jose Parla’s art minus the calligraphy feel.
“I make large scale drawings. My work is driven by a profound and personal fascination with the mark, and an unabashed love for the sensation of mark-making on a larger-than-life scale.
In recent work, I have explored what I consider the fallacy of mimesis as a mandate of drawing. The drawings are not imitations of any aspect of nature, nor are they illustrations of a limited conceptual hypothesis. Instead they celebrate the peculiar properties of drawing as a relic of the physical act of drawing. At once absurd and thrilling, the drawings exist as evidence of a cheerful and optimistic celebration of feeling over thought, acted out in the privacy of my studio/workroom.”

Current Exhibition
alpan galleryContemporary Mark Making: Blurring the Lines Between Drawing & Writing
December 12, 2009 through January 23, 2010
Reception: Saturday, January 9, 2010 3.00–5.00PM
Governed by millennia old conventions of symbolic meaning, writing and lettering can be viewed as drawings at a basic formal level. In this exhibit, artists’ mark making ranges from legible words and discernible images, to scratches and scribbles as well as to lyrical calligraphic forms. The marks are varied; light, dark, animated, organic or reserved and calculated, but they often merge and overlap the line, image and the text, thus Blurring the Line Between Drawing and Writing.
