Acrylic on canvas
24 x 24 in. (61 x 61 cm)
Signed, titled, and dated, verso
“Whew” captures a vivid, abstract essence that plays with both color and text to convey a distinct mood and visual impact. The canvas is bisected into two primary color fields, creating a stark yet harmonious contrast that draws the eye and evokes emotion. The subtle yet powerful focal point of the text, invites the viewer to project their own experiences of relief or release onto the canvas.
The interaction between the warm, energizing upper half and the cool, soothing lower half, coupled with the expression “WHEW,” captures a universal human experience. It visually narrates the transition from tension to relief, challenge to achievement, or anxiety to peace. The painting, with its simple yet profound composition, becomes a canvas of emotional catharsis, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and find a moment of respite in their own lives.

- Night BloomsBy Andrew JensdotterLocated in Denver, COFrom his recent exhibition entitled, Dioramas from Eden, Andrew Jensdotter continues his practice of painting hundreds of layers of iconic pictures of a single subject from a Google image search and then carving through the final amalgamation to create an "original" of his own. What was once representational with a clear focal point becomes a decidedly all-over abstract composition almost archaeological in nature. This laborious and emotional process of erasure synchronizes with the show’s theme – an elaboration on the Garden of Eden and the concept of expulsion from paradise...Category
