Over the last couple of decades, Jennifer Basile (b. 1973, Manhasset, New York) has developed an extensive body of work depicting the elemental marvels found within America’s natural spaces. In doing so, she has cultivated an intimate familiarity with her subjects—from grand wading birds in profile, executed with a quiet elegance reminiscent of Renaissance portraiture, to dense mangrove marshes traced with the intimacy of memory, as though following the lines of a palm. Her representations bear a truth rooted in honesty and colored with appreciation. In this latest chapter of her practice, reflection takes on a defining role rather than a supporting one. Executed in bold color, In the Wake of Reflection brings us Basile’s familiar landscapes accompanied by their ghostly counterparts mirrored beneath each horizon line, urging us to see these delicate yet enduring spaces through the lenses of ecological loss, preservation, and reverence.
About the Artist
Jennifer Basile (b. 1973 , Manhasset, New York) earned her Master of Fine Arts in Painting & Printmaking at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (1999), and her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting & Printmaking at the University of Miami (1996). She is a Full Professor at Miami-Dade College, and in her 20th year as an art educator. Basile’s love for the environment is rooted in her childhood when she discovered its avenues of escapism and meditation.
Throughout her extensive travels and perfected talent, she has combined this passion with the long sought-after tradition of landscape renderings which she adopted and transformed through her printing practice. In time, she has developed a narrative around advocacy and awareness using her art as a platform to discuss the pertinent issues affecting the world we live in.
Jennifer Basile has been represented by LnS Gallery since 2017 and has presented major solo exhibitions including The Power of Print: Iconic Images of the American Landscape (April 27 – August 3, 2019) and Lasting Impressions: A Cessation of Existence (September 16 – November 19, 2022). She has also been the recipient of numerous grants, prestigious residencies, and public art projects including Disappearing Treasures (2021), viewable at the Underline at Brickell Metrorail Station (Miami, FL) and Home + Away Residency at MASS MoCA facilitated by the Oolite, Arts (North Adams, MA). Locally, her work forms part of the permanent collection at the Lowe Art Museum at University of Miami (Miami, FL), Museum of Art and Design (Miami, FL), and the Darlene & Jorge Perez Collection at El Espacio 23 (Miami, FL).
