In her first solo exhibition in the United States, German artist Birgit Jensen looks to the history of the landscape in painting to examine the role of artifice in our never-ending pursuit of perfection.
Made without a brush, Jensen’s paintings are meticulously and labor-intensively constructed to look as if they were created digitally. The “hand” of the artist is completely invisible. Superseding the brushstroke, Jensen applies multiple layers of screened paint to represent the pixilated matrices that compose digital imagery – the signifier of the electronic and impeccable.
