Fine Art Magazine - March 2019

J E N A L L E N I S T H I S T H E R E A L L I F E ? In her new collection, Jen Allen has been paying tribute to some of her favourite elements of popular culture, from music legends such as the late, great Freddie Mercury to superheroes and iconic TV characters, as well as investigating the world of abstraction. The sheer visual impact of these works is typical of Jen’s existing oeuvre which has won her international acclaim; while the abstracts feature courageous sweeps of colour to create a sense of compressed energy, her portraiture often exploit the subtleties of monochrome to give drama and dynamism to a famous face.
