Daily Campello Art News: Jennifer Kahn Barlow

As I observed before, this March, we will return to our 17th calendar year in a row (much less the calendar year of the assault of the Covidian monster) to the Economical Art Reasonable in New York City, we are bringing in a full new team of artists from the DMV, most of whom I to start with achieved by means of their artwork when I juried the 2022 Paint the City occasion in the really region of downtown Kensington, Maryland.

Allow me repeat myself: jurying any artwork clearly show always exposes the juror to new expertise, and when I juried this present, as I frequently do, I chosen some of my fave artists to deliver to NYC for an artwork honest.  In my intellect I wished to “curate” a booth for the reasonable that showcased realist perform at its very best. Booth curation is a fairly subjective course of action (pun meant).

And one particular of my prizewinners is coming to NYC: Jennifer Kahn Barlow! She is “an oil painter motivated by food.  She is stirred by vivid, texturally dynamic, and exceptional delicacies, which potential customers considerably of her issue make any difference to be of confectionary, the gooier and extra colorful the greater.”

She is that… but what Kahn Barlow definitely is goes over and above that – she’s a master artist who elevates and transforms the visual element of foods to the visual elegance of food items as only a very well-executed do the job of art can do.
