Gallery is please to present emerging Bay Area photographer Jessica
Skloven in her first solo exhibition. The show features large
photographs, which showcase Skloven’s investigations into the
possibilities of abstraction in this medium. In her work, the artist
uses the negative as a recording medium, reality as the basis for her
abstraction and an attitude of openness to chance. But those are the
only specifics that Skloven will reveal about her highly compelling
esthetics. That is because she places enormous importance in the art
viewer’s participation in relation to her work. Skloven says: “I
strongly believe that the viewer take pleasure in the work first. If I
can get the viewer to believe in the image in front of them, then other
profound ideas will follow”.
