Sleep Sleep


Jeana Sohn has a new show at Taylor de Cordoba. Herewith, an excerpt from the gallery's press release: "Drawing upon mythologies and the vastness of nature, Jeana Sohn paints peaceful scenes that are filled with anxiety. While aiming to express her connection to nature in these paintings, she widens the conversation to the relationship between humans and the natural world in general. Her images are undeniably gorgeous--a pretty, fashionable young girl (resembling a well-dressed paper doll) floating amidst vividly colored roses is a recurring image and an appealing one. Yet, the characters Sohn imagines seem more lost than found, more frightened and overwhelmed than peaceful."
