Slow & Steady: Twenty Years of Art by Jennifer Cronin at Vanderpoel Art Museum
Vanderpoel Art Museum is thrilled to present a retrospective of Chicago-based artist Jennifer Cronin. Slow and Steady: Twenty Years of Art by Jennifer Cronin will feature seminal works spanning Cronin’s career. Cronin’s work has evolved many times over, delving into psychology, income inequality, and climate change. Her most recent work celebrates the mundane, infusing quotidian scenes with a sense of magic and mystery. “These paintings show that even here and now, there is beauty to relish in, joy to surrender to, and magic hiding in plain sight” - Cronin. This exhibition brings together work from Cronin’s entire career spanning twenty years for her first museum solo exhibition.
