Elisa Jensen's Bonnard-Inspired Interiors at Astor Weeks Through April 2026

Elisa Jensen's exhibition "Invitation" at Astor Weeks in New York presents oil paintings on wood panel that explore domestic interiors through color and form. The show includes works like "Candle on Ellen's Table" (2026, 50 x 40 inches), "Riverview Bedroom, Winterlight" (2024, 30 x 22 inches), and "Cactus and Willow" (2023, 14 x 11 inches). Jensen's approach draws comparison to Pierre Bonnard, particularly in her use of luminous color and attention to doorway geometry, window views, and shadows. Larger paintings in the exhibition investigate dramas of scale and detail within spacious compositions. The artist's color choices drive the circulation of forms, creating pictorial forces that convey immediate experience. The exhibition runs through April 11, 2026 at 209 Canal Street, Third Floor, New York, NY. Critic John Goodrich notes Jensen's capacity to energize visual experience through expansive dimensions and varied reds that measure architectural elements. Her work avoids mere decorative effects, instead presenting enigmas that resolve as distinct objects under pressure of observation.
