Join Art Wellesley for a private guided tour of the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, featuring the Jenna Gribbon: Entwined and ChromaForm exhibitions.
We’ll meet at 12:45 PM in the museum lobby. The tour will begin at 1 PM.
Jenna Gribbon: Entwined is the first major solo museum exhibition of paintings by Jenna Gribbon, bringing together more than forty works from 2001 to the present, including new paintings created specifically for the exhibition. Through intimate portrayals of family, friends, and loved ones, Gribbon explores the intersections of love, desire, and identity, revealing how relationships grounded in care, reciprocity, and empathy shape both her subjects and the act of painting itself.
ChromaForm explores a pivotal moment in mid-twentieth-century abstraction, when artists turned away from the gestural intensity of Abstract Expressionism toward a visual language grounded in perception, geometry, and color, using crisp lines, shaped canvases, and dynamic chromatic relationships to reveal how meaning can emerge through visual experience itself.
This event is free, but please RSVP below.
