These are your dreams. These are the sensations that overtake you as you go about your life, whether shopping in a crowded mall, hiking in the woods, or having Thanksgiving dinner with your boisterous italian family.These are the things that might be swimming around in your cranium during both waking and sleeping hours. This is what Jeanne Cassanova paints. Her work has been described by some as joyful and opalescent, and by others as hellish and aggressive- different viewers bring different attitudes. One thing is for certain though- you are meant to be overwhelmed. You are meant to look at these shimmering, kaleidoscopic works and to feel as if your brain has reached its limit. This tide is pulling you under, and you can either struggle against it or let it take you places. For all of the hard work, all of the thought, and all of the agonizing that Jeanne Cassanova did for every painting or drawing you see here, all she expects of you is to enjoy it - to feel the rush, the thrill of this rollercoaster ride. Looking at one of her canvases is like looking at the glory of the mind unfurled, and this optical feast is prepared for all of us. Dig in!
