Rene Lynch Wonderland and The Gaze at JENKINS JOHNSON Galler

James Kalm visits Rene Lynch's exhibition of recent painting "Wonderland" and "The Gaze". This series of works exemplifies Lynch's efforts in rendering the melancholic and enigmatic emotional states of contemporary adolescent girls through narrative and fictional portraiture. With the resurgence of interest in figurative painting as exemplified by the Leipzig School, Lynch uses her unique vision of "Girl Power" along with references to Neo- Classical and Romantic painting to questioning society's indulgence in the exploitive presentation of teenage girls.

Check out Joe Overstreet on the "a point in space" report, also there's a piece on Jack Whitten's current show at PS1 in the pipeline. As long as your keeping score, do you have any suggestions?

So she likes adolescent girls? Is this it as content? And the point of the adolescent content is?

Hey my friend, I thought this was about art, how do you know what color or gender these ARTISTS are? Please stay on the topic and don't bring your hate into this. James is doing a great job here.
