Jenny Okun

"Jenny Okun's artwork consists of large-scale color photographic abstractions of architectural works. Rather than produce literal representations of buildings, Okun distills the essential qualities of form, texture, color and detail. Before photographing the artist creates preliminary sketches developing a cubist interpretation of forms. With these formal juxtapositions in mind, the artist methodically photographs the building by winding the film through the camera in small increments, thus producing one long negative of overlapping images. Often these works are orchestrated into triptychs of complex interconnecting themes and variations." (Craig Krull)
