Jennifer Caine: Circles Around the Sun
Through January 3, 2025
The exhibition "Circles Around the Sun" by Jennifer Caine explores the fluid and ephemeral nature of time, drawing attention to its fleeting presence and the challenge of fully inhabiting the moment. Inspired by natural optical phenomena such as halos and rainbows, the exhibition invites viewers to engage with the present through paintings that emphasize the subtle interplay of light and shadow. Caine’s work pushes against the immediacy of digital imagery, instead offering a slow and tactile visual language that unfolds with sustained observation. Her pieces, initially abstract and understated, gradually reveal intricate layers of text and marks, creating a dynamic relationship between the viewer, the artwork, and the shifting light within the space.
Jennifer Caine received a BA from Dartmouth College and an MFA in Painting from Boston University. Her work includes paintings, prints, drawings, and artist books and has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
She is the recipient of many awards, including the Edward E. Elson Residency Award at the Addison Gallery of American Art and the Constantin Alajalov Award at Boston University. She was included in the book, 100 Boston Painters published by Schiffer Publishing.
She currently teaches at Dartmouth College. Before joining the faculty at Dartmouth, she taught at Boston University for five years, and she has been a visiting artist at many colleges including: Providence College, Providence, RI, Lyme Academy College of Art, Old Lyme, CT, and the Museum of Fine Arts School, Boston, MA. She is a member of the Boston Printmakers and the Center for Book Arts.
