Artist Jennifer MourinA self taught Malaysian artist for whom art is an inseparable part of her life, Jennifer lives and works in Penang. She is Eurasian by birth, and unequivocally Asian in mind and spirit. Working with gouache, acrylic and oils, her art features and celebrates strong women in all facets of their daily lives, women responding to the on-going changes in their environment and communities; and seeking spiritual balance and love. Benevolently haunted by memories of her mother’s Thai village in Kelantan, they reference her work, and she has claimed the sarongs the women wore as a totem. Increasingly aware of how such a loving, nurturing act as breastfeeding has ironically become a controversial, even ‘obscene’, act in society’s often cynical eye, she has also reclaimed this as well, revelling in the power of mothers supporting mothers, women supporting women. She counts Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo, Cynthia Tom, Sylvia Goh, Gustav Klimt, Paul Gauguin and Henri Rousseau among her major influences.
