Welcome back to Featured Friday! This week we are going deep into the mind of LadyJennD and what inspires her.

Jennifer DeSantis creates surreal multimedia works that are iconic and inspiring, and that demand the viewer look deeply not only into each piece but also within themselves. She describes herself as a visual DJ, stating: "Much like a DJ mixes sounds to create songs, I sample images and text, then combine them to find where they meld, where they mesh. Bits and pieces of random media translate my messages, find their groove, and become whole as my visual songs."

Her collages are created from items and articles people typically overlook: vintage and antique papers, long-forgotten publications. This homage to the past allows both artist and viewer/collector to time travel. In her own words: "I love to work with antique and vintage papers—the feel and smell, the particular colors/inks used back in the day possess such a je ne sais quoi. Working with these papers also gives me a way to travel back in time, to take something that existed and honor it while also giving it a fresh, new life! I like to blend patterns and ideas that seemingly wouldn’t 'go together,' and prove that notion wrong."

This process creates works that invite the viewer not only to notice finer details, but also to connect to the new, fresh, invented world Lady Jenn creates. Her goal? To connect the viewer to "something greater, something beyond...."

On Wednesdays, we dive into ART! This week's focus: "The In Between" by LadyJennD

Mounted on cradled wood, our early 1900s film star's hooded eyes, dark lips, and perfect skin create a mask of perfection, but with a dose of *ennui*. Her inner world is so rich, and in between takes and martinis, in between the demands of beauty and industry, the life within can't help but sprout. The centered butterfly tickles at her third eye, reminding us that change is inevitable and can be glorious. Every living thing connected to our heroine is allowed such vitality, is allowed to open with sharp leaves, fluttering petals, and even the spikes of cacti.

Flowers are delicate, but they push themselves up and through the most unlikely places ... small triangles at the bottom corners act as tiny garden patches, directing our attention to what cannot be contained in the work of art, what cannot be contained in any one work or person ...

We might be interrupting her moment, we-as-viewer might be come between the inner and outer world - and don't we do that all the time? Interrupt the people we love and catch glimpses of who they are undisturbed?

Welcome back to Featured Artist Friday! This week we discover where Harley Kirschner finds the incredible pigments he uses in his work.

Harley states "My pigments were purchased at the estate sale of a late transcendental writer and artist, a sale I worked personally. Not one to order painting supports, I prefer to find them at the estate sales I work, allowing me weeks to connect with their previous owners." Through this evolution Harley has found himself "stepping away from q***r human bodies to reflecting the q***rness of the flora and fauna of upstate New York" where he was raised, "to the global species in peril and species lost, including humanity, to the human response of late stage capitalism, and to the natural continual apocalypse of the earth hirself."

We recently hung THREE stunning new pieces from Harley, all of which speak to these themes, and all of which use gorgeous pigments. DM us for a private viewing - we can't wait to show you!

On Wednesdays, we talk ART! Today's focus: Lip Service by Estevan Zamora.

A little Lichtenstein. A little comic book flare. Lips so red, they dare to stop you in your tracks ...

Is she shocked? Angry? Excited? Her nostrils flare slightly, implying disgust or disappointment. Do we anticipate her words, or fear her response ...?

This FUN painting reminds us of the POWER of red lipstick. Her lips parted, the artist captures the moment *before* more action unfolds. Imagine this piece by your vanity, or in your powder room. Own a salon? How perfect would this painting be in the front, inviting clients to come in and get their lips pumped!

"Lip Service" avail NOW at Soft Corners. Peruse our online gallery for more info:

Happy Hump Day! We just updated prices on LadyJennD's available pieces. Each collage is wholly original, no fake bs! There are probably nicer ways to say that, but in a world constantly tilting toward fakery, we love working with real-life artists who create out of the morass of life and memory and desire and satiation and hunger that they live.

Imagine waking up and seeing one of these ready-to-hang pieces FIRST thing, before screens and demands and advertisements ...

Whether you're new to collecting or a sweet old hat at it, one of Lady Jenn's wild and wondrous collages would amplify your collection.

Peruse Lady Jenn's page on our site: https://softcornersabq.com/artist/ladyjennd and DM us to come in and see each of these beauties IN PERSON!
