Duo exhibition: Jenny Boot & Bob Lejeune

Jenny Boot graduated in 2012 in Amsterdam as a fashion photographer. Although she already had exhibitions in Paris and New York during her graduation year, Jenny saw herself working for the fashion magazines rather than making art. In 2015, Jenny was discovered and her work was shown at all of the world’s leading art fairs. Her works are now in various prestigious collections.

Jenny Boot’s work can best be described as that of a modern artist with ‘roots’ in the 17th century. Beautiful young women in the light of Rembrandt with millstone collars who are never what they seem. Boot masters the Claire obscure use of light like no other.

Bob Lejeune mainly makes ceramic sculptures in which animal figures return many times. In that respect he stands in an ancient tradition within art history. Bob Lejeune’s animal and human figures are highly narrative and have an almost surreal appearance. Although the artist does not call himself a storyteller, his objects do tell a story for those who want to hear it.
