About the artist:
Jackie Gendel (b. 1973, Houston, TX) makes paintings that set groups of women adrift in color-saturated, pattern-inflected space, where narrative accumulates through repetition and sustained chromatic play. Gendel received a BFA from Washington University, St. Louis, MO and an MFA from Yale University, New Haven, CT. She is currently Professor and Department Head of Painting at the Rhode Island School of Design.
