JENNYBIRD ALCANTARA "LULLABY OF THE BOUNTY IN REPOSE " Solo Exhibition : New Oil Paintings at KP PROJECTS, LOS ANGELES "When I reflect back on these paintings as a collection and try to understand what they're telling me, I feel that at their essence they are a love letter. Just as love letters are often replete with heartache, tenderness, and declarations of devotion, these paintings are a meditation on the endless bounty of Nature. A Nature that offers its copious riches even when pillaged; a Nature that offers inspirational beauty manifested in the gifts of rich fodder for allegories and storytelling. It is a Nature that reveals the curiosity and magic it contains, as well as the power to inspire ecstasy and dread in equal measure. From our current collective vantage point, Nature is enjoying a tiny respite from the heavy footprint of mankind. "Lullaby of The Bounty in Repose" is a love letter to all of this.” - Jennybird Alcantara
