JAYNE THOMPSON

Jayne Thompson is a Manhattan-born artist known for producing works on a miniature-scale. From drawings to paintings, Thompson portrays dark and moody surreal narrative scenes rendered exclusively in black-and-white. The small dimensions that Thompson regularly employs for her compositions make her line and form work particularly astonishing, which allows for a fun optical illusion as the viewer approaches and steps away from the work.

Often pulling from her highly curated pool of queer references, Thompson’s work is a dream-like examination of the artist’s life and experiences growing up in New York City. Her work also sometimes draws reference to film and popular culture, which suits her style well – such work appears as if it were pulled directly from a director’s shot list or storyboard.
