About the Item

'On The Town: San Francisco', depicts a scene from a night in the town in San Francisco, from a series of paintings that depict dining - food and drink experiences by artist Mimi Jensen, who uses bold colors to depict theatrically lit objects and/or places. "Mimi Jensen's paintings invite speculation into possible metaphors" – California Home+Design magazine. “On The Town: San Francisco” is a meticulously painted American Realism still life scene that is 24 x 18 inches and features a distant figure in the dining room or club. The night time setting features water glasses on crisp while table cloths in anticipation of the festivities to come. Sophisticated and elegant with warm to hot tones including black and red with gold. Electric Exit sign hangs at the rear of the restaurant. Mimi Jensen is a Still Life painter who is inspired by her ideas and observations. Jensen’s education and early work experience were eclectic – Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Speech Therapist, Technical Editor, and even an Airline Analyst to satisfy her desire to travel. Eventually she returned to graduate school to follow her dream of studying art. While still a graduate student in drawing and painting she was selected for her first commercial gallery show, which led to subsequent exhibitions and launched her professional career as a painter. She has exhibited widely in the U.S., has been featured in numerous publications – American Art Collector, California Home+Design, Fine Art Today, Professional Artist, Southwest Art, The Artist’s Magazine – and for the past 20 years she has been represented by galleries in San Francisco, Boston, Santa Fe, and other cities. Mimi is a California native. Although she has always lived in California, she has traveled widely, prompted by her wanderlust and curiosity about other lands and cultures. The objects and ideas collected in these travels often appear in her work. More than 200 of Mimi Jensen’s works are in collections worldwide.
