Jackie Gendel's Hurricane Sandy-Inspired Dual Exhibitions at Jeff Bailey Gallery
In 2012, Hurricane Sandy's inundation led to the transformation of Jackie Gendel's solo exhibition at Jeff Bailey Gallery into two distinct showcases. The initial display, titled Comedy of Manners, took place from October 12 to 27, 2012, but was cut short due to the storm. Consequently, a follow-up exhibition named Revenge of the Same was held from January 12 to February 18, 2013, at 625 West 27th Street, NYC. Gendel's latest paintings, featuring stenciled waves and gestural human figures, were a response to the hurricane. Her artwork, which draws on art history, includes Archers I (2013), referencing Kandinsky and Manet's Déjeuner sur l'herbe, with a focus on female figures and themes of power and gender.
