About Jenny Ryan
Biography
In this current series of paintings, Jenny Ryan uses her sensibilities for the orient and the seductive image of the rose as the conduit of memory towards the universality of beauty. Suggested in the works are the ancient bronze mirrors, originally made to reflect inner beauty.
......Ryan's luscious use of paint has a visual potency and fertile strokes full of fragrances. The feeling of her memory lies within the finest layer of skin-opaque time, .where birth and death are close. Ryan's garden serves as the elusive memorial......Fran Barassi, Director George Gallery.
