Jennifer Beinhacker
Jennifer Beinhacker’s “Engulfing” is abrupt, stylistically and thematically with her totemic renderings of figures begetting figures. Beinhacker, a self taught artist, has her composition anchored on the extreme right with a stack of vertically repeated “classically” rendered portrait profiles from which her black and red linear figures seem to branch off of. Intertwined, menacing, yet playful, they are dominated by a toothy truncated maidenhead, herself anchored to the portrait stack, who seems to be expressing or literally “expressing” from her mouth the main cluster of teeth clenching “screaming meanies”, while a smaller separate figure jabs its elongated arm back into the lower right, completing a satisfying compositional spiral.
