Jennifer Wheeler’s obsessive multi-figured brightly colored paintings seem almost like patterns until closely examined. She has a B.F.A. in Painting from Lyme Academy of Fine Arts and says of her work “This body of work is centered around the theme of light and dark. The lightness of color palette and composition are belied by the inherent darkness of content. Upon first entry, the images seem jovial and party-like, but after the viewer spends a little time with the pieces, the underlying content of an innocence lost rises to the surface.”
