I would like to thank the amazing Sarah Elizabeth Leonard, artist/curator of The Front Room Gallery, Barrie Ontario for taking the time to not only understand my crazed journey but as well shed some light through her insights. I feel it an honoured and am so appreciative to have worked with Sarah over these last 6 months towards the exhibition she has titled 'The Creation of Visual Syntax", opening September 11, 7 pm.
"Trust that which gives you meaning and accept it as your guide." Carl Gustav Jung
The work collectively describes what one could call visual syntax- the arrangement of parts into visual sentences that decode the relationship of their component parts. Jeanette Luchese's work comes from the development of ruminations of her unconscious, built upon the notion of simultaneously living in the inner and outer existence. It is this idea of the creation of a visual language for perceiving duality as a unified whole that drives this exhibition.
Luchese's work tickles notions of the past with art historical reference in her imagery, but is possibly the accumulation and transformation of the language that came before her, coded in her brain, mediated by creative expression. Much of the work in this exhibition plays with the human beings natural blind spot, the place in out physical vision where we simply do not see, our brain describes what it perceives to be the rest of the information. Jeanette's work aims to be the language to fill in the blanks, ultimately building new blind spots to which new syntax is accrued.
