December 2011- Happy Holidays from the TK

Jennifer Dagdagan

     Someday, Maybe.

A portrait photographer by trade, Jennifer Dagdagan’s art photography, paintings, and multimedia artwork allow her to explore the more unpredictable side of her creative vision.   Her art photographs use shadows and light to tell, or hint at the story, often a story with a sense of mystery. They utilize texture, color, and large blocks of space to capture the viewer’s interest.  Her frequent use of paper and fiber paste give her work texture and a dimensional quality that invite the viewer to touch.  Circles are a recurring motif in Dagdagan’s paintings.  This shape, along with curves often weight the space on her canvas, creating motion and energy that moves the viewer’s eye from one section of the canvas to the next, and back again.  This tension and energy is further enhanced by Dagdagan’s joyous use of color – both in her monochromatic pieces and her work that has multiple colors.  A process painter, Dagdagan lets emotion and light and shadows lead her forward, working and reworking the canvas in a spontaneous and unplanned fashion until it “feels right”.  The resulting work is that of an artist discovering things herself, and allowing us to join her on the journey.
