From Plush Gallery:
“Jacqueline Blanco (b. 1997) is a figurative painter from the Dallas area. In 2019, she received her BFA in Visual and Performing Arts from the University of Texas at Dallas. She has had prior solo shows at the UTD SP/N Gallery, as well as Plush Gallery, and received the Clare Hart DeGolyer Memorial Grant from the Dallas Museum of Art in her next to last year of university studies.
Her new body of work, called “Gluttony,” is based on sexualization and emotional distresses within intimate relationships. She begins by shooting photographs of models (including herself), having foods such as raw meat or cake either smudged or placed on the body. She then creates photorealistic paintings based on the imagery, in the traditional medium of oil paint. A subtext in her work is the ways in which past experiences can psychologically affect oneself, how your mental or emotional well being can be impacted by intimate relationships.”
