Selected by The Drawing Center

 

In her quest to perpetually reconfigure the image, Jeanette Mundt makes paintings that combine the iconic with more personal or hermetic references. By conflating art-historical images with selfies, Mundt poses questions about power and the gendered gaze that unfolds in the ambiguous space between how we consume images in everyday life and art. Mundt refuses to commit to one style of painting and her formally omnivorous practice mirrors the ever-changing velocity of culture.

 

Solo exhibitions include Divorce Paintings, Company Gallery, New York; Obsession, Société, Berlin Germany (2025); A Reality, Tank Shanghai, Shanghai, China (2023); God Told Him to Wait, Société, Berlin, Germany (2023); Batshit, Company Gallery, New York (2023); Human Remains, Overduin & Co., Los Angeles (2022); Sprich auch du, Red Tracy, Copenhagen (2021); Wash us with fire, Société, Berlin (2021); and Hell on Earth, Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, New York (2018).
