Jennifer Cronin, the painter, has a new show, opening Wednesday, at the Elephant Room Gallery here in Chicago.
The painting above reflects a recently recurring theme in her work - ordinary realism overlaid with magical images.
The painting is listed as "Untitled, (visual afterimage following surgery for a vascular malformation in the right occipital lobe), Oil on canvas, 2013."
Well, that's scary. Nobody wants a vascular malformation in the brain. Yes, I'm assuming it's literally true.
From Wikipedia: "The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the mammalian brain containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex."
Well, it's evident that she can still paint just fine,
no problems with color or line.
