About Artwork: "This painting, "Dream Boy", challenges the traditional ways men were painted throughout history. Instead of the typical, fully clothed, heroic portrait, I've displayed the male body for the female gaze. The man is lounging, approachable, and decorated with bright colors and Impasto paint, as pleasing as a seductive still life."   

About Artist: Jennifer King is an artist, Cal State Fullerton University Professor, and Curator, living and working in Southern California. Her work confronts themes of power, the female vs male gaze, and the realities of navigating contemporary life as a woman. She received her MFA from Claremont Graduate University in 2017, and currently creates work out of her Laguna studio.
