Jackie Gendel paints brightly hued compositions that blur the distinction between figuration and abstraction. The formal complexity of her work stems from her use of serial repetition of form and sequential narrative techniques, methods she derived from her background in creating underground comics. Embracing a fluid approach, Gendel develops “scenes, characters, and situations through deliberate figuration, intuitive mark making, color, and chance procedures.”
