Aurora Colors Gallery presents Jessica Tehan - "Figures From A Single Root"
Nine of ten ink and colored pencil drawings by Jessica Tehan are still available, as well as prints. Her style is very unique. Though somewhat abstract, it is recognizable; figurative, yet the body parts are creatively placed; erotic and sensual. A collection of older works were exhibited in our Senses and Sensuality exhibit earlier this year. Two of those works are included in this new exhibit. The other six were created simultaneously - the theme is "trees". Jessica is driven to draw these trees. Usually she works on no more than three works at a time, so this was quite a challenge for her to create six at once and have each one be uniquely different from the others.
 
Last November, 2008, one of Jessica Tehan's works was placed in the permanent collection of the Kinsey Institute for research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction in Bloomington, Indiana.
