About the Exhibition
Jennifer Lauren Gallery presented new works for the virtual edition of Intersect Chicago 2020 from 6-12 November 2020. The fair was the evolution of SOFA – Sculpture Objects Functional Art. It was the intersection of art, design and objects. SOFA includes daily highlights on Glass, Contemporary Art, Design, Ceramic and Craft, Outsider Art, Fiber and Public Art / Sculpture.
The Jennifer Lauren Gallery showcased: mystical sculptural creatures from Japanese self-taught artists Shinichi Sawada and Akio Kontani; personal clay beings from British artist Terence Wilde; fun and colourful hand-felted 'Makoot' dolls from Japanese artist Makoto Okawa; layered web-like textile structures from British artist Aradne; symbolic cross-stitch and complex monochrome works by British artist Valerie Potter; imaginative pencil drawings from American artist Margaret Mousseau who only started drawing in her sixties; and not forgetting a new artist Joyce Davies from the Shetland Isles, who has created some powerful mono-screenprints.
