Press Release

Richard Levy Gallery is pleased to present Pioneer Project a solo exhibition of constructed landscape and portrait paintings by Jennifer Nehrbass.

Pioneer Project features new paintings by Jennifer Nehrbass. The paintings oscillate between realism and construction. By incorporating different people in each portrait and various places in her landscapes, Nehrbass uses layering as a visual metaphor for the multifaceted nature of identity. She’s interested in the tension of the in-between of past/ present, thoughts/dreams, reality/ imagination, and race/culture.

Jennifer Nehrbass spent ten years working as a design director at Ralph Lauren before pursuing her art career. Her work has been featured in Hi-Fructose Art, American Art Collector, and HuffPost, among other publications. Nehrbass’s work was recently acquired by the Brooklyn Museum and the New Mexico Arts Collection and is included in private and public collections worldwide. She is one of five New Mexico Women to Watch 2024 by the National Museum of Women in the Arts. The artist currently lives and works in Albuquerque.
