Brooklyn, NY native Jaz Harold will have her first solo with iv gallery at the WEHO location, 7969 Melrose Ave, opening Nov 15th (reception 7pm-10pm). “The Empress & The Star” embodies themes of purification, catharsis, and growth, while consciously appealing to child-like naïveté. The works are at once feminine, sensual, innocent and some could even perceive elements as lewd, which could be a reflection of Harold’s upbringing . Raised in a family that entwined sex with shame and guilt, Harold looked for freedom, independence and balance in her work. In doing so, she created gentle, approachable, and occasionally humorous reflections on sex, love, and spiritual growth.
