Artist phenom, John Jenkins creates genius again. Jenkins, well known for his detailed imagery juxtaposing science, technology, humanistic laws and theories with the laws of the universe and beyond, has created a new series of work intended to be the successor of the Corollaries Series (his last stroke of artistic genius, thus proving he has more than one rabbit in his hat). I now speak of Allegories; a beautiful thought process playing off of, well, the 14th century "figure of speech" (re: definition above); evocative, mentally provoking and miniature, these lovely beauties are now hitting the art market.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Jenkins for several years now and I must say his work is magical, metaphorical, and oozing talent beyond the everyday painter.. of which I see daily. I would like to invite everyone to John's personal display of his new series, Allegories on December 6th 2009 from 6-10 p.m. Location- Houston, TX-although not where one would normally think (if you know me).. but a new location.. send me an e-mail for the disclosure of this wonderful semi-private.. art sale of the 8"x8" gorgeous display of acrylic on canvas.. for yes, ONLY $100.00!!! each.
