Jen Heads - Hide
Glass Series: 1.0
283mm W x 303mm H
Mixed media on 3 layers of glass with a backing board. Spray-painted frame and spacers.
About the Artwork: Hide draws the viewer into an atmosphere of camouflage and concealment, where frame, backing, and layered glass converge in a palette of greens with a spark of bright yellow and orange.
At its centre, the Jen Head becomes both visible and hidden, absorbed into the surrounding environment, echoing the instinctive desire to withdraw when confronted with threat. Here, however, the notion of flight is not toward isolation or cold detachment, but rather toward nature as refuge.
About the Artist: Jenna Ingram is a versatile artist who earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Canterbury University in 2007. Her creative journey has spanned various mediums and styles, including portraiture, landscapes and cityscapes. However, over the past eight years, she has dedicated her practice exclusively to urban art through her signature character, Jen Heads. This nature-inspired "mask" has undergone numerous iterations, reflecting Ingram's lived and artistic evolution. In addition to her work as an artist, Ingram has also been instrumental in managing her and her husband's business, Fiksate Gallery, further contributing to the urban contemporary art community.
