Rhythm of Life – Jennie Rosenbaum
Last night we headed down to the Vanguard Gallery (234 High Street, Northcote 3070) to check out the opening of Jennie’s new exhibition, which is running till Saturday 7 October—everyone’s invited.
The work this time, expressionistic nudes in muted colours, is more accomplished than that of her previous show: there is a greater consistency of quality and vision. It’s enjoyable gazing at the bold oil brush lines and turpentine textures; taking in the dynamism of the shapes, each set off with a piece of colourful detail work.
As a dilettante blogger, I also appeciate that Jennie is a professional blogger, narrating her working world. If you want previews of her pieces and an insight into her inspiration, creative process, and the hard work that goes into exhibiting, check out Jennie’s Palette. But note that even the largest Flickr images can’t do justice to the real subtlety of her work.
