La Petite Mort

Jeremy Penn's work explores the dichotomies in suggested dialogues between men and women. He expresses these powerful tensions through his bold use of color, mixed media, and text. Penn breaks the taboo of self indulgence and captures the sacred moments, mostly of women, discovering their bodies and the acceptance to seek and find pleasure outside the stigma of the female solely being a reproductive vessel. After being inspired by many forms of literature and sociological studies, he has developed a series that exudes a sophisticated interpretation of this blissful absentmindedness.
