Jasmine Gregory. Mommie dearest

Mommie dearest is the first solo show in Italy by artist Jasmine Gregory, taking place at Istituto Svizzero in Milan. As part of a young generation of emerging artists, for this show, Jasmine Gregory presents a series of new paintings and a work that lies between sculpture and ‘ready-made’. Working primarily with painting, she engages with iconography and western art history from a critical perspective. Within this context, she explores her role as a young painter, playfully and smoothly combining pop cultural references and contemporary theoretical discourses into her practice.
Opening reception: 10.02.2022 H18:00-20:00
The opening will be accompanied with sound by ALIENI (TOMBOYS DON’T CRY), between H19:00 and H20:00. Drinks will be served.

ALIENI (TOMBOYS DON’T CRY): melting atmospheres and tropical rhythms meet sweet sounds with an R&B taste. Pop culture and experimentation take new forms and are added to the contaminations coming from the city where she lives and works as a photographer: London.

Jasmine Gregory (b.1987) is an artist living and working in Zürich, Switzerland.
