Jenny Parsons oil on canvas

 Oil on canvas by talented up and coming South African artist Jenny Parsons. A very good investment piece.

Frame measures 55cm x 53cm and the work itself measures 40cm x 36cm.

Born in SA in 1967, Jenny graduated in Fine Art and lectured at the Natal Technikon before moving to Cape Town in 1991.  There she has worked with the Community Arts Project, the Durbanville Cultural Society and the Ruth Prowse College of Art and Design where she was head of the Fine Art Department.  Since 2000, Jenny has been a full-time artist, exhibiting regularly in South African galleries. In 2011, Jenny was resident at the Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris.  Jenny works mostly in oils and chalk pastel, and thinks a landscape painting is a place for the eye and mind to play, where the experience of the landscape and the act of painting hold equal importance. She has a fascination with vertical objects such as trees & flora, and thinks they suggest, and in fact replace, a human presence. She is currently also enjoying developing her understanding of the urban landscape. She believes the visual conversation between horizontal and vertical, mass and detail, solidity and fragility further explore our human relationship to the land.
