In her quest to perpetually reconfigure the image, Jeanette Mundt makes paintings that combine the iconic with more personal or hermetic references. By conflating art-historical images with selfies, Mundt poses questions about power and the gendered gaze that unfolds in the ambiguous space between how we consume images in everyday life and art. Mundt refuses to commit to one style of painting and her formally omnivorous practice mirrors the ever-changing velocity of culture.
