Looking to the classical nude form as inspiration, Jessica Lichtenstein explores modern international reinterpretations of female depictions. Beginning her career with placing hyper-sexualized Japanese figurines into domesticated environments, Lichtenstein’s exploration into the female form has since evolved to incorporate glimpses of female sexuality in textiles, furniture, acrylic prints, mirrors, and chrome. Pulling viewers into her utopian, phantasmagoric worlds, Lichtenstein asks her viewers, male and female alike, to re-consider the many complexities of femininity.

Her latest series departs from the overt sexuality of Japanese anime culture and investigates the simultaneous anonymity and specificity of female characteristics. The faceless, repeating effeminate forms represent both the community of women in the world and the individuated characteristics that make up a single woman. Varied body positions differentiate each figure and yet harmoniously contribute to the texture of the leafy, vibrant tree that unifies them.

The unique shape of the works, whether in Lichtenstein’s famed word pieces or the circles of her Four Seasons Series, enhances and contains the meaning within. Words and shapes inform and define the worlds inside, lush and inviting and ripe with intricacy.

Jessica Lichtenstein was born in New York and attended Yale University, studying under renowned art critic Vincent Scully. Her work spans multiple mediums, including furniture, textiles, photography, prints, and sculptures. Her pieces are held in prominent international collections in Paris, France; London, England; Saudi Arabia; Jordan; Chicago, IL; Palm Beach and Beverly Hills, CA; and New York, NY; including in the private collection of Lizzie Tisch and high-end designer boutique Suite 1521. She has exhibited extensively in New York, participating in art shows Scope, Art Southampton, and Art Miami.
