Anna Jensen's paintings are a synthesis of classical and abstract figuration. Her body of work is inspired by both trauma and exaltation. They are the fruit of years of rigorous research conducted in her home of the American South. With immense drive and rare sensitivity, Anna demonstrates the power of an individual to prevail through challenges via creative transfiguration. She is mostly self taught, yet has exhibited internationally to great acclaim over the past twenty years. "My paintings are psychological landscapes and emotionally complex narratives. I combine references to art history, pop culture, natural science and personal chronicles to represent the conflicts of life. The titles are important elements. Like me the stories are at once funny and sad." Anna has an extensive exhibition April 10th - May 23rd at Sun ATL (vinsonart.com/the-sun-atl) with paintings celebrating her husband Kevn Kinney's lifetime of songwriting, both as a solo artist and frontman/lyricist of legendary Atlanta band, Drivin n Cryin.
