Jeanne Wilkinson’s Biography

Jeanne Wilkinson continues her exploration of abstract forms in everyday life in the “City Symmetry Series” which reflects city streets in a state of constant dynamic flux via sun, streetlights and shadows. She explores the concept, put forth in a book called The Elements of Dynamic Symmetry, that life originates from small imbalances, or broken symmetries. Thus, her symmetries do not match, but instead form tenuous relationships that move from color to color and linearity to linearity, reflecting the nature of the city not as a sterile and hostile but intrinsically and potentially a place of beauty and growth.

Wilkinson grew up on the shores of the pristine waters of Lake Superior in Minnesota, an environment of color and form that affected her aesthetic understanding of the world. After being a “back to the land” organic dairy farmer in West Central Wisconsin for ten years, she went back to school, eventually getting her MFA degree at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.

An abstract painter for many years, she now work digitally with still imagery, animation and video installations in her Downtown Brooklyn studio. Her artwork has been shown in numerous venues in New York City and worldwide. Also a writer, her writing and artwork have been featured on NPR’s Leonard Lopate Show and Living on Earth, in Adirondack Review, Columbia Journal Online, and New Millennium Writings. She won an award in a Fusion contest in 2017 for another “City Symmetry” piece. Her experimental videos have been screened at BAM, at the Greenpoint and New York Independent Film Festivals, and a video installation was recently featured in a one-woman play at the 13th Street Repertory Theater.
