Jenna Krypell is a sculptor and painter based in Brooklyn, New York. With a mastery of diverse painting and sculptural techniques, her work explores the interplay of illusion, color, form, and material. Jenna’s art serves as a reflection on the rhythms of daily life, the passage of time, and the exploration of memory. Each installation reimagines familiar elements, offering a fresh perspective with every presentation. Through this dynamic process, Jenna highlights the importance of the “journey” as a central theme in her work.
Jenna’s forms have many variations but generally share a commonality. In constructing these abstract forms, she evaluates life’s challenges and restrictions, therefore exploring the balance between choice and limitations. She imposes clear restrictions on herself in the preliminary stages of her work, and synthesize her designs with materials such as MDF, hand dyed resins and paint.
These initial constraints she enforces on her work enables her to push toward other possible avenues that arrive towards the finishing stages. The final product of Jenna’s work is quite indiscernible in comparison to where she began, for it is in constant evolution.
Jenna’s work represents change; nothing is stagnant.
