Jen-Kun-Doe Artists Are a Shot of Seltzer-Water in the Face
Jen-Kun-Doe is a new online art gallery featuring the artwork of Jenny Coyle and Alex Acosta. It is an art gallery with a sense of humor featuring the artwork of two off-the-wall artists. Jenny with her sometimes controversial sense of style, has jaws dropping where ever her pastel drawings are seen, and Alex's photography with an artsy stylistic approach to content, have put together quite the little enterprise, now all they have to do is wait to be discovered.
The Jen-Kun-Doe gallery has only been up for a few months, but it's attracted visitors from all over the world and no complaints so far. You may be wondering how a little Orlando gallery is attracting global attention, well it's online of course. "Now, how could I be a starving artist if I could afford to own an actual gallery?". "Goofy name, huh?", she blurts before I can ask, "I'm always flicking my boyfriend Alex to keep him from tickling me, and he started calling it the ancient art of jen-kun-doe. So, when I was trying to think of a name for the gallery........". "Our gallery currently features my pastels and sculpture, and Alex Acosta's photography. Hopefully we'll be showing some other artists in the near future. We certainly don't object to having other artists work on the site, we just don't have it yet. Alex's photography is very artsy, it's very groovy baby. And mine..... well, we'll just call it an impressionistic blend of pop-art and sarcasm. No one knows exactly what to call it, hyperliteralism, I don't know." One of these vivid pastel images is currently adorning the Frequent Film Festival poster and info page for Creative Stages. " New artwork is posted in the gallery periodically.
Most pictures are for sale, and all pictures are available as prints, notecards, and even t-shirts if you want to get silly (you may not understand why t-shirts would be silly until you see 'If you don't want me looking at them' and 'x-ray vision'. We're looking into offering art neckties and other stuff like that, art should be everywhere not just on walls and in books. The world needs more color, more life and originality, and quite frankly more wackiness; and Jenny and Alex certainly are that. You can't be around these two for more than a couple of hours without seeing them wrestle tickle or otherwise torture one another and have been nicknamed Itchy and Scratchy among other things by close friends. At first glance this gallery really doesn't seem like much, but as you flip through it's pages the warmth, love, and humor of these artists grabs you.
