Artist Bio:

Janet Bruesselbach was raised by scientists in California in the 1980s. She attended RISD for a BFA in Illustration (2006), and the New York Academy of Art for an MFA in figurative painting (2009). She parents a young human and works out of Queens, NY.

Artist Statement:

Bruesselbach uses figurative oil painting toward speculative realism, melding human intimacy with radical relationships to technology. The artist's imaginative experiment seeks cyborg feminism, representing embodied subjects, captured during conversational live poses, within non-representational, generative spaces. Its influences manifest as emphatic lucidity and pulp surrealistic excess moderated with pragmatic humor. Movements evade dominant narratives, aiming to celebrate queer humans and queerer concepts with diverse community engagement. Compositions often deliberately challenge expectations of spatial orientation, setting, consistency, and aesthetic values, driven by sensual exuberance.|
