JENNIFER CHERNECKI PUT A POODLE ON IT 2020 16 x 16” Media: Oil on Panel https://www.jenniferchernecki.com/ https://www.instagram.com/main_street_poodle/ ARTIST BIO Jennifer is a Vancouver-based visual artist and curator who works primarily in drawing and oil painting. Her subjects, whether they be animals, humans or inanimate objects, always engage with the viewer, creating a sense of wonder and curiosity. Her works hold small secrets, hidden imagery and untold stories and leave the viewer with the feeling that there is much more to understand in these imaginary time-spaces. Jennifer is a graduate of the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and currently makes her home and studio in Vancouver’s eclectic Mount Pleasant neighborhood. She works as an artist in programs at the Burnaby Art Gallery as well as an Exhibit Preparator at the Burnaby Village Museum.
PROJECT STATEMENT Jennifer Chernecki has too many pets. She paints them because she can’t bear to leave them trapped in her head, but she is running out of space for them all! You could support her Adoption Agency by taking this loving poodle off her hands. Adoption Agency is a series of pet-based works that explore the idea of the micro-utopic impulse and small moments of perfection, as well as the ideas of ownership, commodity and animal welfare. It’s also well known and documented that images of cats and dogs and other furry friends are at the top of the commonly collected list. This project unabashedly leans all the way into that.
